How will my employees find out about their pension?
- When you automatically enrol an employee, they become a member of your workplace pension scheme. Smart Pension’s platform sends key communications with information so that members can activate their account, check their details and easily complete their expression of wish form; This form lets the member nominate who they would like to receive any scheme benefits payable on death.
- They also provide a simple two-page annual statement so that members can easily see how much they’ve saved so far, how much you’ve contributed to their savings and an estimation of how much their savings will be worth when they retire.
