  3. Can employees opt out before being enrolled?

No. An employer must enrol all eligible employees first so that the pension provider can provide them with all the necessary information and documentation.

Only after being enrolled, employees can take the decision individually to opt out of the pension scheme.

If a worker opts out within a month of being added to the scheme, the payment will be refunded.
