The new ‘FSB Pension Scheme for Members’ is going down a storm as it provides a solution to the problems of the Pensions Act 2008. IFS, a member service provider is working with FSB members to help them comply with the New Regulations. The above Act is law and comes into effect from OCTOBER this year. It will have a significant impact on every employer in the UK. ALL employers will be required by law to:
- Set up and register a pension’s scheme for their employees
- Automatically enrol all their eligible employees into it
- Pay contributions for every employee who does not opt-out.
Come along to learn more about the Pensions Act 2008 and how it affects you now or in the future. For details of the FSB Pensions Scheme visit; www.fsb.org.uk/pension-scheme

How much is Faffing About costing you?
Profit and productivity are the main casualties of Faffing about, be that personally or professionally. We spend and waste too much money, time and effort Faffing about on the wrong staff and clients or randomly selected untracked activities. Long term valuable relationships are built around real substance, investment and nurturing anything else will keep you busy at best. Who are the stars, where are you best relationships, who should be removed and who could be nurtured and given more attention? As a result of Mike’s talk you will leave with
- Tools to keep you on track and prevent you from Faffing About in the wrong place
