Will I be enrolled into a pension?
If you are a justteachers’ PAYE employee, automatic enrolment will depend on your age and earnings and if you are deemed to be an ‘Eligible Jobholder’, which is anyone:
- Aged at least 22 but under state pension age
- Working or ordinarily working in the UK
- Earning more than £10,000 salary per annum (£192 per week)
If you’re automatically enrolled you’ll receive employer contributions on top of your own. If you don’t meet the criteria you can still join and you may still be eligible for employer contributions. There is more information about who qualifies at Nest .
How do I opt out of the pension scheme?
To opt-out of your pension you will need to contact NEST directly. The opt-out period is for one month and it starts three working days from the date you’re enrolled. NEST will tell you exactly when the opt-out period starts and ends in the letter they send you after you’re enrolled. You won’t be able to opt-out earlier than the start of your opt-out period. You’ll be able to stop your contributions after the opt-out period has passed.
For more information visit the NEST website.
