Opting out

You can find out even more about the benefits of being enrolled in a workplace pension scheme, why you’ve been enrolled, and how to opt out through our dedicated opt-out webpage.

This is when you ask to leave your workplace pension scheme within the 1 month opt-out period. You’ll be entitled to a refund of what you contributed to your workplace pension scheme.

You can still leave the scheme after your opt-out period. This is known as “ceasing active membership”—you won’t be entitled to a refund, and the contributions you’ve made will remain invested in your pension pot.
