Section 16: Power of managers to modify by resolution
105.Section 16 extends section 32 of the PA 2008. Section 32 of the PA 2008 provides that the trustees of an occupational pension scheme may by resolution modify the scheme so that it complies with the requirements for an automatic enrolment scheme in section 17 of the PA 2008 or the requirements as to payment of contributions in sections 20 and 24 of the PA 2008. (Section 12 extends section 32 by adding a reference to an alternative quality requirement prescribed under the new subsection (2)(b) of section 28 as inserted by that section.)
106.Section 16 extends section 32 of the PA 2008 so that managers, as well as trustees, of occupational pension schemes are able to use this power to modify a scheme.
