NEST has no plans to introduce an employer charge

Helen Dean, chief executive of NEST, says:

‘Our legal obligation to be open to everyone has always been a critical part of the auto enrolment programme. That’s why we think it’s right that NEST should not introduce an employer charge. Imposing a charge simply doesn’t fit with our public service obligation; particularly as it would negatively impact smaller employers the most, creating a barrier to entry and creating extra costs that many simply wouldn’t be able to afford.’
