PENSIONED OFF

摘要

For the first time in history, UK employers are being required to provide pension contributions for employees. This is a significant change in policy, as employers have always been given the choice to provide benefits for employees as they see fit, generally providing benefits that the employees value, or that otherwise aid recruitment or retention of staff. For a lot of firms in the construction industry, cash benefits, such as improved pay and performance bonuses, are the most attractive to employees, and pensions are not generally offered.
