Workplace pension scheme

Hi all,
I'm weighing up a new job at the moment. It does have a slightly better pension scheme than my current employer but you can't join the scheme until you've been there for a full year. Is this standard practice?
Thanks!

It used to be OK to do this, but now that it's a legal requirement for all employers to offer a pension scheme it sounds a bit dodgy to me to make you wait until you have 1 year's service.
I might be wrong, but their policy sounds outdated to me.0 -
Generally the employer can delay for 3 months. There are a few exceptions. Have a look at the site https://www.gov.uk/workplace-pensions/joining-a-workplace-pension gives more detail.0
