• Your contributions of [Insert exact percentage].
• You can choose to opt out of the Scheme if you want to but if you stay in, you will have your own

• You will receive tax relief on your contributions.
• Your pension belongs to you, even if you leave our employment in the future.
What you need to do now?
This depends on what you want to do. You have two options:

out period will be either one month or three months later, depending on the scheme rules and the Auto
Enrolment Regulations 2010.
Yours sincerely

Because there aren’t enough of us saving for our retirement the Government have launched a
new scheme called auto enrolment. The initiative means that every employee (who is eligible) is
automatically opted into a work based pension. It’s an excellent way to grow your savings because
not only do you contribute yourself, so does your employer while the Government tax relief also
boosts contributions which makes for greater savings and a far brighter future.

If you’re in, you’re in for a nice surprise. Auto enrolment is coming.
