Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask His Majesty's Government whether there are any requirements to inform low-paid workers that they will pay 25 per cent more for their employer’s pension than they would if their employer auto-enrolled them into a pension fund with relief at source administration; and, if so, whose responsibility it is to inform them.
Employers are responsible for choosing a workplace pension scheme for their qualifying employees under the automatic enrolment framework.
The Pensions Regulator provides guidance for employers about how to comply with their automatic enrolment duties, including the information they must share with eligible employees.
