A Competitive Pension Plan for Your UK Employees

We wanted to remind you that we partnered with Nest Pensions to help you offer the best pension plan for your UK based employees. It’s a legal requirement in the UK to offer a pension plan to employees. With Nest, employees can contribute their pre-tax earnings into a tax-sheltered retirement account, where they’ll be able to select their portfolio and contributions.

Employee tax-free retirement contributions

Employees can contribute up to £40,000 per year from their salary tax free. Employer contributions are fixed at 3% of employee salary to comply with local regulations.
