01: Employer access rules

Since 8 October 2001, all employers with more than four employees (including part-timers) have been required to designate a stakeholder pension arrangement to which their employees can contribute. The requirement is subject to several exemptions and is policed by the Pensions Regulator (TPR). TPR monitors employers on a regional basis to check compliance, and can levy fines of up to £50,000 for non-compliance. The first fine for non-compliance was £10,000.Last Updated
