GTMA UPDATE – 14th January 2014

Workplace Pension Seminar, 29th January, National Metalforming Centre, West Bromwich
As a trade association member you will no doubt be aware that millions of workers have to be enrolled into a workplace pension scheme by their employer. Once enrolled, not only will the employee pay in to the scheme but so will the employer. Whilst this new scheme has been widely advertised, it is evident that some companies are still unclear about certain aspects of the scheme.AGENDA – FREE SEMINAR
