Auto enrolment pensions are coming

Whether or not your organisation provides access to an employer pension scheme or not there are certain things that all employers MUST do - even before mandatory pension schemes are introduced.

Last night, the Taoiseach gave a speech to the employers' group IBEC to announce an upcoming national pension plan that will look to start by 2021. In this speech he said:

‘Another priority is to ensure that more people in work make provision for decent pensions when they retire. This issue has been long-fingered for too long, and now that the economy is recovering strongly we must act decisively, and we will publish a five year roadmap for pension reform before the end of the year.

This will include introduction of an auto-enrolment pension scheme for private sector workers, two-thirds of whom currently have no occupational pension to supplement their state pension. I anticipate the first payments being made into those new individually held funds by 2021.
