WILL YOU OPT out?

This week the Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection published a report containing 21 recommendations for Government plans to develop an auto-enrolment pension scheme that would apply to around 750,000 workers between the ages of 23 and 60.

The government is currently preparing to put forward legislation for a universal pension scheme for everyone earning over a certain amount, which would see employee contributions matched by their employer, with a further top-up from the State.

Workers will be able to opt out of the scheme.
