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.
