Our last quick poll asked the question “Are you seeing an increase in employees pausing contributions to workplace pensions?”.
Here are the results:
Answer
Result
No significant change
64%
Yes, cost-of-living given as a reason
25%
Yes, reasons unknown
6%
It is promising to see that 64% report no significant change to the number of people pausing contributions to workplace pensions.
However, 25% of respondents did report an increase of people pausing contributions, specifically due to the cost-of- living crisis, with a further 11% seeing an increase, but with no specific reason.
Thank you to all respondents of this quick poll.

Published: 11 October 2022 Emailed: 12 October 2022
Thank you to all those who answered our quick poll over the past couple of weeks.
This quick poll asked: What announcement from the Growth Plan will have the biggest impact on your payroll team? The results were as follows:
answer
result
Reversal to increase of NI rates from 6 November
56.5
Basic rate of tax reduced to 19%
20
Repeal of 2017 and 2021 IR35 reforms
14.5
Introduction of Investment Zones (NI implications)
4
Cancellation of ringfenced H&SC levy in 2023-24
3
Abolition of additional rate of tax
2
It seems that with the third change to National Insurance of the year coming in November, this is the main area of concern. With the reduction in the basic rate of tax and IR35 reforms coming in behind.
The abolition of the additional rate of tax has been included here for completeness, however, it was removed following the news that this policy would be U-turned.
Your input really is appreciated, please keep an eye out for our next Quick Poll so you can continue to have your say.
