NG Healthcare Staff Handbook

Your Pay & Pension

You will automatically be enrolled in the workplace pension scheme provided you are 22 and over and earn over a set amount per month (currently around £470). If you are under 22, or earn under the set amount, you can still ask to join the scheme but NG Healthcare doesn’t make any contributions for you. Once you are enrolled to the pension scheme – both you and the Company will pay a percentage of your salary into the scheme each year – around 3% - over a certain amount (currently over the first £5,000 or your earnings). You have rights to opt out of the scheme and back in again every few years. Workplace Pensions are subject to Government changes and are operated by an independent pension provider – you will receive a pension’s booklet as a part of your Induction materials and should you require further information this is available from the Payroll Dpt.
