I’ve changed jobs. How do I arrange for contributions to go into my pension pot? Your employer is responsible for enrolling you into the workplace pension scheme that they use. However, the provider may not be The People’s Pension.You’ll need to check with your new employer to find out when you’ll be enrolled and who the pension provider will be I’m a non-UK national. Do I have to be automatically enrolled? Automatic enrolment duties apply equally to a non-UK national as well as to a UK national, as long as the employee is working or ordinarily working in the UK If I’m going on long term sick, what will happen with my contributions? Will they continue and does my employer still have to pay? Contributions can continue to be paid into your pension pot based on the pay you’re actually receiving. If your sick leave is insured and a policy is paying out, then this will be classed as earnings if payments are being made by your employer.
Do I still pay contributions if I’m on maternity leave? You and your employer will continue to make pension contributions if you’re getting paid during maternity leave.
If you’re not getting paid, your employer still has to make pension contributions in the first 26 weeks of your leave (‘Ordinary Maternity Leave’). They have to carry on making contributions afterwards if it’s in your contract. Check your employer’s maternity policy if you’re unsure.
Pension Scheme
Do I still pay contributions if I’m on paternity leave? Contributions can continue to be paid into your pension pot.
The employer should pay the contributions based on your pay before you went on paternity leave, whilst you should pay contributions based on the pay that you’re actually receiving (for example Statutory Paternity Pay).
