From April 2018, the minimum contributions for the workplace pension will increase. This is a nationwide change, involving millions of people and their employers across the UK.

The changes will take place in April 2018, and again in April 2019.

Date effective	Sodexo’s minimum contribution	Your minimum contribution	Total minimum contribution
Currently, until April 2018	1%	1%	2%
April 2018 to March 2019	2%	3%	5%
April 2019 onwards	3%	5%	8%

You and Sodexo may already pay more than the minimum contributions. If your payments are greater than the increased minimum levels, you will not need to pay any more.

Our 2020 Bake Off winners

Back in April 2020, we launched The Great Sodexo Bake Off as a fun way to bring together the best of your lockdown-inspired boredom bakes. Little did we know that you would respond in droves, giving our judges a real headache and teasing the sweet-tooth of the region.

Thank you for saluting our Forces

Last week was Armed Forces Week (22 to 28 June 2020); a celebration of the Armed Forces across the region who keep us safe, and an opportunity for Sodexo to celebrate our own teams who support the military community every day.

Salute our Forces

Each year, Armed Forces Week (22 to 28 June 2020) provides Sodexo with the opportunity to commemorate the Armed Forces across the region, and gives us a chance to celebrate our own Hidden Heroes who are helping the military in a number of different ways.

Recognising your Hidden Heroes

As we continue to stop the spread of the Coronavirus (Covid-19) and work together to rise again, we must all make sure to continue thanking those making a difference every day.
