What is Creative Pension Trust and how does it work?
Creative Pension Trust is a workplace pension trusted by thousands of UK employers. Every employer is required by law to provide a pension for their employees and to automatically enrol most employees into their scheme when they start their job. Employees that choose not to save for their future must also be re-enrolled periodically every 3 years.
As a Creative Pension Trust member, you have access to a modern,
high-quality, low-cost, high-value workplace pension – a valuable and easy way to save regularly straight from your pay cheque. And, because we’re here to help your employer with their auto enrolment duties, when you save a little on each pay day, your employer pays in too and you will receive an additional boost from the government if you pay tax on your earnings.
This makes your workplace pension one of the most efficient ways for you to save for the future and means you will have more to rely on when you retire than just the Basic State Pension.
