From today certain employees, who are not members of a Royal Mail pension plan, will receive a letter about pension automatic enrolment.

We are required by law to automatically enrol certain employees into a workplace pension scheme every three years, if they meet certain criteria. This is even if they have previously opted out of (or are receiving pension benefits from) a Royal Mail pension plan.

From January 2016, we will automatically enrol or re-enrol these employees into the Royal Mail Defined Contribution Plan (RMDCP), if they meet certain criteria.

Home mailing

From today, employees who are not a member of a Royal Mail pension plan (over age 22 and under State Pension Age) will receive a letter at their home address about pension automatic enrolment. If you are not currently a member of a Royal Mail pension plan, you may have been enrolled into the RMDCP on 11 January 2016.

If you think you will be affected, please look out out for your letter.

Zurich

In the next few days you will receive a letter from Zurich Assurance Limited (‘Zurich’), the Plan administrators, with further information on the Plan and your options. You can choose to stop contributing to the Plan if you want, but only after you have been enrolled and have received your letter from Zurich.
