Auto-enrolment

Pensions minister Steve Webb has described consultancy charging as "a classic example of how the industry allowed itself to get bad headlines."

The Work and Pensions Committee has welcomed the government's move to ban consultancy charging on auto-enrolment schemes.

Aon Hewitt has appointed Karen McWilliam as head of its public sector benefits consultancy.

The majority of contributors believe the government was wrong to bring forward the end of short service refunds. The move means refunds will be banned before measures to consolidate small pots are expected to be in place.

The government has closed a loophole in legislation which could have allowed employers with hybrid schemes to inappropriately postpone auto-enrolment.

Most workers auto-enrolled into a National Employment Savings Trust's (NEST) scheme are using electronic methods of opt out, according to the provider.

Resolution has revealed it auto-enrolled five pension schemes during the first quarter of 2013.

The Pensions Advisory Service (TPAS) has updated its advisory content to include additional technical information, factsheets and multimedia content.
