If I pause my workplace pension contributions during the pandemic, can I re-start them at a later date?

Yes. When you want to re-start paying pension contributions, you’ll need to rejoin the Scheme. You can opt back in at any time by logging into our member website and clicking on the ‘Opt-in’ button. You can also contact us for a paper copy of the opt-in form.

Make sure you let your employer know when you opt back into the scheme, so they re-start their contributions. Your employer will also be notified through our employer website.
