Group Stakeholder & Employee Benefits

Introduction

It is a legal requirement that any employer with five employees or more at least has a designated Stakeholder pension scheme. There is a potential fine of up to £50,000 for relevant employers who do not comply. Click here to access the government's Pension Service guide. Retirement Planning Associates (RPA) advises on and arranges Stakeholder and other pension schemes, plus a full range of employee benefits.

Contribution Options

Stakeholder or equivalent schemes allow:-

  • Employer contributions only.

  • Employee contributions only.

  • Employer & employee contributions.

  • Designation only - the registering of a scheme with a pension provider and notifying employees, to meet legal requirements with employees having access to contribute on an individual basis should they wish to do so.

Our Offer to Care Homes who Work with Us

Our normal charge for this is £250 per employee enrolled, subject to a minimum charge of £2,000, plus ongoing charges per annum for servicing the scheme. However, we will arrange such schemes on preferential terms for relevant care homes who utilise our care fees service for their private funding residents and potential residents.

RPA also advise on, and arrange, other employee benefits, such as:-

Group Life Insurance

Which pays out in the event of death.

Group Critical Illness Cover

Which pays out in the event of the employee suffering a predefined critical illness, such as cancer, heart attack and stroke.

Group Income Protection

Which pays an income in the event of the employee being unable to work due to medical reasons, up to retirement age. There is also a one to two year version which pays out in the event of redundancy.

Group Medical Insurance

Which pays medical bills.

Summary

We will be pleased to discuss all or any of the above with you on a no obligation basis.

Notes

Basic terms and conditions apply to the stakeholder offer which can be provided upon request or will be provided upon initial discussion.

Notes & Disclaimers
  • Guides (which includes all information, data and views expressed) on this site are brief introductions, as such they cannot be relied upon: full research needs to be conducted or professional advice sought before investment and financial decisions are made.
  • In the case of new investments, pensions, insurances or mortgages, literature from the investment provider needs to be read and understood: including product guides, key features and illustrations, which give details of product aims, benefits, risks, commitment needed, charges and commissions, before financial decisions are made and action taken.
  • Guides published on this site express the opinions of the authors which may not always concur with our own if from other organisations.
  • Guides are published by the permission of the authors and/or copyright holders.
  • Your home is at risk if you do not keep up repayments on a mortgage or other loan secured upon it, this can include some forms of equity release. The FSA do not regulate some types of mortgage.
  • Past performance is not an indication of future returns.
  • The price of bonds, properties and shares, income from them and investments in them can rise and fall.
  • Investments in bonds, property and shares should be deemed mid to long term, meaning at least five years. Early surrender increases the risk of the investor receiving back less than invested.
  • Investments in capital protected funds are only as good as the ability of the investment provider and/or any guarantors to meet their liabilities. A default on their part may mean that the investor receives back less than invested.
  • Tax concessions and legislation may change and reduce the benefits of investments.
