How can my employees opt out of the pension ?

In accordance with UK law, employers are required to enrol all eligible employees in a workplace pension scheme. Employers do not have the option to opt-out employees from this automatic enrolment. However, employees retain the right to opt-out of the scheme if they choose to, but this process must be completed by the employees themselves as stipulated by The Pensions Regulator (TPR).

Upon submitting a pay run, Collegia FreePayroll will automatically enrol all eligible job holders into the Collegia Pension scheme. Each enrolled employee will receive a welcome pack via email, allowing them to either opt-out or complete the registration process. If an employee opts out within 30 days of enrolment, a refund will be processed in the next pay run. You can monitor your employees' pension statuses anytime by navigating to the "People" section and checking the "Pension Status" column.
