The Handbook of Work-based Pension Schemes : An Employer's Guide to Designing and Managing an Effective Pension Scheme

From Autumn 2012, all UK employers will be expected to start offering a pension to any employee who earns more than GBP5,000.

This compulsory measure has far-reaching consequences for all players: not only will many new pension customers be brought into the market, but companies face strict deadlines and major fines if they do not comply.

The "Handbook of Work-based Pension Schemes" takes a practical approach to the many issues and crucial decisions now facing employers.

Choose the right course of action and pensions can become a powerful incentive for employees, but make a mistake and the consequences can be far-reaching and expensive.

Published in association with the Institute of Directors, the book is designed to ensure that this new pensions system fulfills its promise to both employers and employees.
