FAQs
Can you have a SIPP and workplace pension?
Yes, providing you don’t go over your annual pension contribution allowances, you can have multiple pensions. Pensions come in many formats: Personal pensions, workplace pensions and more. Remember to review your pension schemes with an adviser to ensure they benefit from any recently introduced pension features that some old style schemes don’t include.
How do I set up a workplace pension?
If you are an employee, a workplace pension is usually set up by your employer. They have duties to ‘automatically enrol’ employees depending on age and salary. You will receive notification from them once you are placed into their scheme. This can often be after your probation period when starting a new job.
If you are an employer, you will have the duty to provide all qualifying employees with an appropriate workplace pension. This can be set up direct with an auto enrolment qualifying pension provider, through your accountant or with help from an independent financial adviser.
Can I opt out of a workplace pension?
Yes you can contact the provider to opt out of the scheme. If you opt out within one month of joining, any contributions you personally made will be refunded. If you opt out after a month, any contributions will remain in the scheme. Your employer has a duty to place you back in the pension after a 3-year period.
Opting out has disadvantages. You will miss out on tax relief from the government and contributions from your employer. The decision shouldn’t be taken lightly.
