WORKPLACE PENSIONS: COVID-19

There are a whole range of issues that pension trustees, employers and their advisers are facing as a result of COVID-19 (coronavirus).

You should focus your activities on the key risks to pension savers:

benefits need to be paid
the risk of scams needs to be minimised
employers need to continue contributing
savers need support to make good decisions in these challenging circumstances
some administrative breaches of the law may occur and we will maintain a proportionate and fair approach to any action we may take

The Pensions Regulator will continue to provide guidance in response to emerging challenges and impacts.
