Your new workplace pension rights 11 April 2019 Your new workplace pension rights Your employer may have to automatically enrol you into a pension scheme if you’re not already in one Your employer and the government may have to put money into the scheme on your behalf if you’re eligible If you don’t want to become a member you can opt out A change in the law means it’s now easier to save for your retirement. In the last few years most workers in the UK will get new workplace pension rights. This gives millions of workers the opportunity to save into a workplace pension scheme helping them to build a retirement income. Depending on your age and income, we may have to enrol you into a workplace pension scheme. We may also have to make a contribution to your retirement pot. If it’s not the right time for you to start saving for your pension right now you can opt out within the first month of enrolment. You’ll be automatically enrolled again in about three years if you’re still eligible and you’ll have another chance to start saving then. We will be letting you know how you’ll be affected shortly.

Who’ll be automatically enrolled? 11 April 2019 Who’ll be automatically enrolled? If you’re at least 22 but under State Pension age and earn more than £10,000 each year, you’ll: be automatically enrolled get contributions from your employer receive a letter giving you more information. You can opt out within one month of enrolment What you’re entitled to depends on how old you are and how much you earn. If you’re over 22 and below State Pension age and earn more than £10,000 each year you’ll be automatically enrolled into our workplace pension scheme. Other workers can ask to be enrolled, but anyone that earns less than £6,136 isn’t entitled to contributions from us. They also don’t have the same opt out rights, because they’ve asked to join. They can stop contributing whenever they like. Your employer will be able to give you more information about how the workplace pension reforms affect you. These pay levels apply to the 2019/20 tax year. They’ll be reviewed by the government and will probably change each year. State Pension age State Pension age is 65 for men born before 6 December 1953. For women born after 5 April 1950 but before 6 December 1953, their State Pension age is between 60 and 65. Under the Pensions Act 2011 women’s State Pension age will increase more quickly to 65 between April 2016 and November 2018. From December 2018 the State Pension age for both men and women will start to increase to reach 66 in October 2020. State Pension age will now increase to 67 between 2026 and 2028 and then to 68 between 2044 and 2046. The Pensions Act 2014 provides for a regular review of the State Pension age, at least once every five years. So these dates could change.

Your new workplace pension scheme 11 April 2019 Your new workplace pension scheme Easy to understand Low charges You can look after your account online Manages your money carefully according to your age One retirement pot for life which you can pay into if you change jobs Nest is for the millions of people who want a good value workplace pension scheme that does the hard work for them. We’re all about making it easy for you to save. Nest understands that pensions can seem complicated and reading about them can be a bit boring. That’s why they make an effort to explain things clearly. They don’t like jargon and use plain language so you can quickly understand what’s happening to your money. Nest’s online accounts make it easier for you to keep an eye on your pension. You can find out how much money is in your retirement pot, make extra contributions or change the date you want to take your money out by logging in whenever it’s convenient for you. There’s also a UK-based contact centre that can help you over the phone. Nest has low charges but offers all the services and protection you’d expect from a high-quality pension scheme. You have one retirement pot for life which you can pay into if you change jobs. Nest is an occupational pension scheme run on a not for profit basis. Nest is run for its members, and has been set up to look after your money.

Who pays into your retirement pot? 11 April 2019 Who pays into your retirement pot? Worker Government Employer In most cases your retirement pot is made up of contributions from you, us and the government. We’ll let you know in writing how much we’ll be contributing to your retirement pot. Once the money is in your retirement pot Nest aims to make your money grow. If Employer is using qualifying earnings: The legal minimum level of contributions is based on what is known as qualifying earnings. This is a band of your gross total earnings including bonuses, commission, holiday pay, maternity and paternity leave and anything else you’re paid in relation to your work. For the 2019/20 tax year the qualifying earnings band has been set at anything over £6,136 and less than £50,000. It’s reviewed every year by the government. So if you earned £16,136 a year your qualifying earnings would be £10,000. You and your employer would need to pay a minimum percentage of this amount into your retirement pot. Minimum contributions start at 8 per cent of your qualifying earnings. Of this, we need to pay at least 3 per cent, although we can pay more if we want to. 3 per cent of £10,000 is £300, so we would effectively be giving you £300 a year to put towards your retirement pot. You’d put in £400 and you’d get £100 in tax relief if you’re eligible, meaning £800 would go towards your pot each year before charges. There are other ways of calculating your contributions other than qualifying earnings. Speak to us for more information.

Retirement funds designed around your plans 11 April 2019 Retirement funds designed around your plans Nest 2056 Retirement Fund Nest 2040 Retirement Fund Nest 2024 Retirement Fund Lots of people struggle to understand what happens to their money in a pension scheme, especially if they’ve not saved into one before. Nest tries to keep things simple and help its members to understand what happens to their money. When Nest receives money from you or us it’s put into a fund. Nest uses the money in the fund to buy shares in things its research suggests will increase in value. This could be shares in companies or property, for example. When companies Nest has invested in do well or the value of the property Nest has bought goes up, you get a share of the profits and the size of your retirement pot increases. Nest also lends some of the money to carefully chosen governments. The governments repay the loan with interest, which is added to the fund. Nest doesn’t put all your eggs in one basket. Their experts look for a range of opportunities in lots of different areas to make sure your money has the best chance of growing. Nest Retirement Date Funds Unless you tell Nest otherwise they’ll put your money into one of their Nest Retirement Date Funds. There’s one for every year a member could take their money out of Nest. For example, if you expect to take your money out in 2024 your retirement pot will be invested in the Nest 2024 Retirement Fund. If you don’t tell Nest the year you want to take your money out they’ll assume that it’s the same as the year you’ll take your State Pension. You don’t need to make any decisions yourself if you don’t want to. Nest’s investment experts will carefully manage the fund that your retirement pot is invested in.

For the most part, though, your retirement pot will grow steadily. When you’re about 10 years away from when you want to take your money out of Nest the focus shifts to protecting the value of your retirement pot so you don’t lose out to unexpected events.
