What information do I need to give my employees?
It is your duty to tell your workers about the changes and how they will be affected by them. All communication must be in writing, which can include email, but not simply a link to a website.
Information can be provided by someone acting on your behalf, such as your pension provider. However, it is your responsibility to make sure the right information gets to the right person at the right time.
If any personal details are part of the communication, you should write to the employee individually.
This table summarises what information should be provided to the three main different groups of employees when the pension is set up.
