to this?

Occupational Pensions: Delayed wages subtracted?

about the conference
It has been a long path from Turner’s Pension Commission in 2005 which insisted on a minimum employer contribution of 3% to occupational pensions. And while we should welcome the new pensions system which will for the first time compel every employer to contribute to their staff pensions we still need to consider:
—where the law stands
—how pension provision in the UK can be improved and protected

In response to requests from trade union reps facing the harsh realities of working life during an economic crisis, the Institute is organising an innovative one day conference aimed at equipping reps with the information required to assist their members. Having identified the most common issues that crop up day to day, the conference will bring together legal, trade union and social policy experts to determine what we as trade unionists can do to help protect our members and ensure workers rights are not undermined.
