Pension from Wages

[SusanLisa]

The branch that I work for in admin was sold to another company late last year.

Myself and a few others were paying into the old company pension which was stopped as it was a company pension.

Since the new company bought us they have continued to deduct our pension contribution's but without telling us why.

I believe they are 'putting it aside' until they sort something out - eg another pension scheme.

The owner ( who sorts wages etc out ) is a complete nasty idiot ( thats another story ) but he's not telling us what hes doing with our money.

This has been going on for about 4 months now - is this legal? To take our money from our wages & not do anything with it?

Any info would be appreciated

I couldn't comment about the legality but it's certainly unethical.

Please keep a log of all the deductions and times when you've approached your boss and the outcome of the conversations and take advice from an institution such as Citizens Advice:

Hope you get this sorted :)
