Opting out of the company pension scheme

As an employee of Clipper Contracting Group, you will be enrolled into a workplace pension scheme. We typically defer this for 12 weeks but you may want to opt-in from day 1 should you wish.

What happens when you want to opt-out though?

Unfortunately, the law is quite clear that an employer cannot opt-out on your behalf. This is something you will need to do personally. This prevents rogue and unscrupulous employers from preventing employees entering the pension scheme and saving themselves the employer contributions.

Should you wish to opt-out of the workplace pension scheme, please follow these steps:

• Wait until you have received the welcome email from Jarvis Pensions
• Should you want to opt-out immediately after the first pension deduction, you can do so at the bottom of the Jarvis welcome email under 'opt-out'.
• Contact Jarvis either at support@pensionjar.com or on their web-chat.

Once you have opted-out, Jarvis will notify us and we will make the changes our side. Please note that any refund on previous pension contributions can only go back as far as 1 calendar month.
