THE LATEST SURVEY to explore the response of employers to the introduction of auto-enrolment finds that very few will reduce benefits either for existing staff or for new hires. The survey, by consultancy Aon Hewitt, also finds very limited interest in signing up for the National Employment Savings Trust (Nest) scheme. Another recent survey shows that some companies say they will cut back on recruitment to fund auto-enrolment, while a survey by the Pensions Regulator finds that employers are relatively ill-prepared.

THE GOVERNMENT has commenced a consultation on draft Regulations banning the use of gender as a factor to be taken into account when assessing insurance risks. The need to remove the derogation to the equality rules that permits the use of gender as a determining factor when calculating insurance premiums arose as a result of the decision of the European Court of Justice in the Test-Achats case (OP, April 2011).

THE Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has commenced a consultation on how the pension system should deal with the proliferation of small pension pots that is expected to arise once automatic enrolment is fully operational. It believes that the combination of autoenrolment and a highly mobile jobs market will result in about 4.7 million additional small pension pots in the system by 2049. At present there are a number of barriers to easy transfer of these pots, including the unwillingness of schemes to accept transfers, the disproportionately high cost of transferring small funds and the inertia of members.
