The Pensions Regulator

Employer homepageWelcome to the employer homepage

As an employer you're responsible for providing the scheme trustees and their advisers with the information they need to carry out their duties.

Our aim is to provide you with support and guidance to carry out your role with confidence and to work with you should problems arise.

Our 'Guide for employers: Talking to your employees about pensions' tells you what you can do to help your employees make decisions about their pension.

We've also designed a free programme - Pensionwise - to help you get to grips with your role and responsibilities.
 
And you may want to take a look at our Guidance for trustees as a useful explanation of the trustee role.

We have a range of powers to investigate schemes and take action where we believe schemes are at risk. However, we use our powers sparingly, only taking action against employers where absolutely necessary.
