Angard pensions / auto enrolment?

Post by earthfire »

Just seen today's payslip and obviously tax has reset to zero for the new financial year starting today.

But... after being auto enrolled in the pension earlier this year, it seems to have vanished along with all the contributions from the totals/deductions box.

I thought it was supposed to continue until the person opted out? So where've the deductions gone?

Gone towards Angard Consultants Christmas night out .
Who knows if anyone of us will ever see the deductions again.

Have employer contributions changed?

In previous years the employer contributions have always matched my own contributions but this year they are always substantially less. For example:

Week 2: My contribution 23.28, employer contribution 15.52
Week 5: My contribution 3.25, employer contribution 2.17
Week 7: My contribution 12.37, employer contribution 8.25

Is this happening to everyone?

Your contributions have increased for 2018/19 by more than Angard, you are now paying 3% instead of 1%, angard should have gone from 1% to 2% according to the following link.

looking at your weekly contributions you seem to be getting a fair amount of shifts in comparison to my contributions :nana :nana :nana

Thanks tabact - that makes sense now.

Toonlad - week 2 is mostly holiday pay (I took no holidays last year), and week 7 is two weeks worth of shifts. All the other payslips were for zero hours!!
