2. Group Stakeholder Pension Plans

4. Executive Pension Plans
5. Small Self-Administered Schemes (SSAS)
   
   

Added Value for Employees

Portus recognises that the onus for both deciding contribution levels and making investment fund choices has switched from Employer to Employee, due mainly to the move away from Occupational Pension Schemes to Group Personal Pension Plans and Stakeholder Pension Plans. Our comprehensive Pension Planning service recognises the importance of employee communication, including the need to explain the value of their Total Reward Package, and includes:

1. Group Presentations
2. Face-to-Face Advice – via a 30 minute surgery consultation
3. Telephone Helpline

Salary Sacrifice

Salary Sacrifice can provide potential savings in connection with pension contributions and we strongly advise consideration of the benefits it offers. Salary sacrifice involves employees agreeing to take a lower salary in return for a pension contribution. Because the salary is lower, NIC’s payable by both employer and employee are reduced and both parties can also put some, or all, of what they have saved in NIC’s towards making additional pension contributions.
