CAREER AVERAGE SCHEMES AS QUALIFYING SCHEMES CONSULTATION
9 May 2012
The Department for Work and Pensions has published a consultation on proposed minor technical changes to the 2010 Automatic enrolment regulations that will allow employers to use career average arrangements as qualifying schemes.
The document sets out proposals to revise Regulation 36 of the Occupational and Personal Pension Schemes (Automatic Enrolment) Regulations 2010.
The Government’s policy on career average pension schemes is to allow them to be used as qualifying schemes and for the purposes of automatic enrolment so long as they provide for the benefits to be revalued at, or above, a prescribed minimum rate. The consultation proposes amendments to those regulations to give more flexibility for schemes over how they provide for revaluation while still ensuring that members’ interests are fully protected. The CIPP will not be surveying members on this consultation so if you do have views on these proposals or you are involved in the running of a career average scheme, the DWP would appreciate hearing from you. The consultation includes details of who to respond to.
The consultation will last for six weeks, ending on 11 June.
