Auto-enrolment for pensions is now in place for companies. The People's Pension is able to help BPCA members with auto-enrolment and manage the process to set up a workplace pension.
BPCA members receive a one-off reduced fee of £300+VAT (instead of £500+VAT). To receive this they need to go to the People's Pension website and enter a reduced fee code. Contact the BPCA office on 01332 225 112 to obtain the special code.
