Pension contributions when on SSP

Postby pondertax » Thu Mar 19, 2020 2:57 pm

Hi all,

If someone is on SSP only for a prolonged period of time and therefore their monthly salary is very small, what are the rules about pension contributions (both ees and ers)? I'm just thinking about the minimum mandated % under auto enrolment, and therefore what the legal position is, rather than any kind of enhanced company pension scheme, which I presume would be covered in the employment contract.

If anyone could point me at some useful web links, I'd be really grateful.

Thank you in advance,

PonderTax

That is a good question actually considering the current climate. Used to know the answer but it's all out of my head. Will be interesting to see the what is said
