Pensions Act 2011

Section 15: Arrangements where transitional conditions cease to be satisfied

103.Section 15 also amends section 30 of the PA 2008. Under section 30(5) if certain conditions of deferral cease to apply, the employer must enrol the jobholder into an alternative scheme. Currently section 30(5) provides that the alternative scheme must be either another defined benefit or hybrid scheme, or a money purchase scheme. This section amends section 30(5) to give employers a further option of enrolling jobholders into a personal pension scheme.

104.Section 15 also has the effect of requiring the Secretary of State to make regulations about the arrangements that must be made by an employer in order for the jobholder to become a member of a personal pension scheme.

Impact Assessments

Impact Assessments generally accompany all UK Government interventions of a regulatory nature that affect the private sector, civil society organisations and public services. They apply regardless of whether the regulation originates from a domestic or international source and can accompany primary (Acts etc) and secondary legislation (SIs). An Impact Assessment allows those with an interest in the policy area to understand:

  • Why the government is proposing to intervene;
  • The main options the government is considering, and which one is preferred;
  • How and to what extent new policies may impact on them; and,
  • The estimated costs and benefits of proposed measures.
