From October 2012 most workers will have to be auto-enrolled into a pension plan by their Employer (under the Pensions Bill that also abolished the Default Retirement Age during 2011).  At the end of November 2011 however the Government announced the welcome news that business with less than 50 workers will not have to auto-enrol their staff into such a pension scheme until May 2015.  ]]></description>
