Quick question on extra income as Workplace pension

Hi Expert,

I joined my current employer around 6 months back. They are planning to add workplace pension for each employee as it is going to become mandatory from August, 2015 ( i think) by UK government (https://www.gov.uk/workplace-pensions).

For employee getting salary below 40K, the employer is going to contribute the money (might 1 or 2 % of the salary) and the same is applicable to me.
In this case, does my employer need to inform HO or provide me a increment letter or any other formality as per sponsorship rule.

Kindly provide your valuable suggestion. Thanks.

Hi All,

This group is really helpful from the beginning.
I have been searching for this in gov.uk, but could not find precise answer for this.
Can someone please suggest on this ?

It is as per Govt rules, no need to provide updates to Home office,

In my company, last month everyone in office joined workplace pension.

entry level is 3% employee and 5% employer, after 3 years, the next level is 5% employee and 7% employer...

I don't know,whether the percentage depends on the company management or as per govt rules....

@Ravi: Not required.
