3. Your new workplace pension rights
09 November 2018
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 recent change in the law means it’s now easier to save for your retirement.
In the next 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.

4. Who’ll be automatically enrolled?
09 November 2018
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 £5,876 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 2017/18 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.

09 November 2018
Your new workplace pension scheme
Low charges
Easy to understand
Manages your money carefully according to your age
You can look after your account online
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.

7. Who pays into your retirement pot?
09 November 2018
Who pays into your retirement pot?
In most cases your retirement pot is made up of contributions from you, us and the government.
We will 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 2017/18 tax year the qualifying earnings band has been set at anything over £5,876 and less than £45,000. It’s reviewed every year by the government.
So if you earned £15,876 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 2 per cent of your qualifying earnings. Of this, we need to pay at least 1 per cent, although we can pay more if we want to.
1 per cent of £10,000 is £100, so we would effectively be giving you £100 a year to put towards your retirement pot. You’d put in £80 and you’d get £20 in tax relief if you’re eligible, meaning £200 would go towards your pot each year before charges.
The minimum contribution level will eventually rise to 8 per cent by April 2019, of which employers will need to pay at least 3 per cent.
There are other ways of calculating your contributions other than qualifying earnings. Speak to us for more information.

8. Retirement funds designed around your plans

Retirement funds designed around your plans
NEST Retirement Fund
NEST Retirement Fund
NEST 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 2022 your retirement pot will be invested in the NEST 2022 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.
Protecting your money
NEST takes a different approach to protecting and growing your money depending on your age and how long you have until retirement.
If you’re in your 20s you’re probably new to being in a pension scheme. NEST concentrates on helping you establish your retirement pot in these years.
When you’re in your 30s, 40s and 50s NEST concentrates on growing your retirement pot. It’s possible that you’ll see some ups and downs in the total value of your retirement pot in these years. 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.

These have been set up for people who want a different approach to risk than the NEST Retirement Date Funds or those who have strong feelings about how their money should be invested. It’s quick and easy to choose a different fund using your online account.

There are three ways you can opt out.
By going online, entering the unique ID from your welcome pack and opting out using a simple online process.
By using NEST’s automated telephone system.
By calling NEST’s contact centre to ask for a paper opt-out form. You’ll need to sign the form and give it to [person in employer’s workplace].
Remember that if you decide to opt out you’ll miss out on our contribution and tax relief from the government.
