    under auto-enrolment rules, the workplace has to offer a pension itself.

    Have you checked to see what their one is?

    If they are not yet at their staging date, they dont have to.

  • Yes I pay a % along with works contribution but this is an extra one they see as a bonus that you sort out yourself.

    Can they pay the extra into your workplace one? Most will allow it.
