Guernsey and Alderney secondary pension scheme delayed
The introduction of a government-approved secondary pension scheme for Guernsey and Alderney has been delayed.
The scheme was due to be established in 2022 after being approved by deputies, but Brexit and Covid-19 have caused a delay.
No alternative start date has yet been proposed. A delay was not unexpected given the challenges of the past year, and that it could help businesses already hit by the pandemic prepare for the scheme’s implementation.
Local employers will be obliged to offer a pension scheme for staff if they do not do so already, and to make contributions of up to 3.5% of salary.
The default scheme is to be administered by a UK auto-enrolment pension provider specialist, but many businesses are setting up new schemes with local providers.
Details of the delay are set out in Employment & Social Security’s Social Security Contributory Fund Accounts 2020, due to be discussed by the States on 16 June.
