123. Businesses are not currently obliged to provide a workplace pension scheme, but the 2008 Pensions Act requires employers to have a qualifying pension arrangement in place from 2012. Employers will be obliged to automatically enrol jobholders onto the scheme and make a minimum contribution to the arrangement. Providing a workplace pension scheme has a number of benefits. There is income tax relief available on both the employer′s and employees′ contributions, and where the employer is a corporation, corporation tax is also available.
This text refers to:	A pension from a well-known establishment may not deliver significant profits.	Business owners with very few staff need not offer pension schemes.	In future, it will be necessary for employers to pay into their employees′ pensions.
124. Of the different work pension plans available, the stakeholder scheme has the minimum standards. Under this scheme, the money contributed is used to buy investments, and the investor must be prepared to lose out if these investments do badly. The benefit of this scheme is that it is flexible in that if employees change jobs, they can continue to make contributions to the scheme, although any payments the employer makes will cease. Employees can also make irregular or low payments with no penalties.
This text refers to:	If the number of employees on a company′s payroll exceeds a certain figure, a pension must be offered.	Employees who pay into stakeholder schemes may lose their money.	Both large and small businesses can get rebates from paying into employees′ pension funds.
125. The company need not make any contributions, but must offer its employees a payroll deduction facility. If the employer does contribute, a condition can be set up that the employee also contributes. Employers must keep a record of any payments they make, but beyond this, the scheme requires no administration, as this is done by the provider. The costs for this are deducted from the fund. Annual charges are low, capped at one percent of funds.
This text refers to:	If the number of employees on a company′s payroll exceeds a certain figure, a pension must be offered.	Employees in some occupations may not be eligible for some types of pension.	Employers only need to keep minimal paperwork for the stakeholder scheme.
126. Stakeholder pensions are available from a number of banks and other financial service providers, and it pays to shop around. Find a reputable pension provider which is registered by the Pensions Regulator. Although a well-established firm is preferable, past performance is not a reliable indicator of future returns. Also make sure that your pension all your employees can join the scheme as some limit membership to people working in certain trades.
This text refers to:	Employees in some occupations may not be eligible for some types of pension.	Employers only need to keep minimal paperwork for the stakeholder scheme.	Business owners with very few staff need not offer pension schemes.
127. As the economy gradually shows signs of improvement, many organizations are thinking once more about the best way to attract and retain employees. But there is some uncertainty as to how best to attract those currently aged between 22 and 29, commonly termed Generation Y. Whether such measures are necessary is debatable, but there are certainly ways in which businesses can get the best out of their younger employees.
	Gen Y-ers are the first generation to be unconsciously competent users of digital technology.	One company has spent millions on a unique program of team-building activities and social responsibility initiatives which are aimed to attract Gen Y employees.	Some have interpreted this as a sign of disloyalty, although research shows that Y-ers are actually no less loyal than their predecessors.
