In need of advice

Hi all, I joined the auto enrolment pension in 2013, I'm currently paying 1% and my employer pays the same.

However I noticed on my paper work that my employer will start paying 5% as from October 2017 and 8% from October 2018.

I have spoken to my pension provider and this has not happened.

I have then spoken to the payroll of my employer and they have said they will not honour this

What should I do?
Thanks

    The dates have been changed to April 2018 and April 2019.

    The employer contribution is not that high;

    Now - total contribution is 2%, of which employer must pay 1%

    April 2018 - total contribution is 5%, of which the employer must pay 2%

    April 2019 - total contribution is 8%, of which the employer must pay 3%


    So, you will see your contribution going up more than your employers.
