Your workers’ new workplace pension rights
Millions of workers are getting the opportunity to save in a
workplace pension scheme
We may have to automatically enrol workers into a pension
scheme if they’re not already in one
We may have to put money into the scheme on behalf of
workers if they’re eligible
Workers may also get tax relief from the government
If workers don’t want to become a member they can opt out

Who’ll be automatically enrolled?
If a worker is at least 22 but under State Pension age
and earns more than £10,000 each year
they’ll be automatically enrolled
they’ll get contributions from us
they can opt out within one month of enrolment
they’ll receive a letter giving them more information

Taking money out of NEST
Members can take their money out at any time after
reaching age 55
They can buy a retirement income, take a cash lump sum or a
combination of both
If members suffer from ill-health they may be able to take
their money out early
If members die before taking their money out they can make
sure it goes to their loved ones

If workers are automatically enrolled or opt in, NEST will send
them a welcome pack with their NEST ID

account
