Not something you hear offered every day, but the Government\u2019s new law means that all employers will soon be legally responsible to enrol their staff onto a workplace pension scheme.<\/p>\n<div class=\"call-to-action\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/workplacepensions\">Find out about auto enrolment and workplace pensions<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a rel=\"external\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=NnxJNSiZjK4&amp;feature=youtu.be\">Meet pension fan Derek<\/a><\/p>\n<p>So, who\u2019s eligible? The criteria is pretty simple:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>aged between 22 and State Pension age<\/li>\n<li>earn more than \u00a310k a year<\/li>\n<li>work in the UK<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The new law means that a small percentage of your wage will be paid into a pension scheme with extra money added on top by your employer. This is then used to build up a pension pot which can be used to pay you an extra income on top of your State Pension when you reach pension age.<\/p>\n<p>When your employer mentions auto enrolment you will have the option to \u2018opt out\u2019. This may seem like a good decision when you have a limited budget, but making the small investment each month will make a huge difference in later life.<\/p>\n<p>Getting older and needing to make decisions about a pension can be easily put off, but you aren\u2019t often offered the chance to claim extra money. Stay in and make a difference to your future.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you are over 22 and in work then you may be entitled to extra money from your employer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mostafa.openonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51452"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mostafa.openonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mostafa.openonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mostafa.openonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mostafa.openonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=51452"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mostafa.openonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51452\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mostafa.openonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=51452"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mostafa.openonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=51452"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mostafa.openonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=51452"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
