Hi there,

Does anyone know if an employer in construction is obliged to register for CWPS and obliged to deduct the required amount from employees pay? + remit the employer portion of course.

As far as I am aware then there is no need if staff are under 20 but where I am confused is when there are staff working that wish to have no pension deducted, from chatting to CWPS office they said that they have no choice, while this may be correct, I assume it is, it seems odd to force someone to contribute to a pension. Especially when employees in other industries can opt in or out of a pension scheme operated by employer.

I know of a lad with 3 employees only and has never operated the scheme, it seems now that he may be liable.

Thanks
