WTP pension process – an overview

In the decision-making process for the Future Pensions Act (WTP), employers start by creating a calculation model to initiate the WTP pension process, preparing pension scheme quotes, and providing an overview of the pros and cons to make an informed preliminary decision. Employee consent involves drafting a primary transition plan for the right to consent. Such a plan is obligatory for transitioning existing participants to a flat-rate premium but is optional if they continue with a progressive premium or for introducing a new scheme for new participants.

WTP pension transitionplan process

The logistical steps include submitting the transition plan to the Employee Participation Council or Works Council where applicable, deciding on the pension scheme, informing participants about the WTP pension process, and notifying the insurer. Changes must be made to employment contracts, regulations, and agreements to accommodate the new pension process.
