Keeping it in order

Assessment

Kota checks eligibility every pay run, and opt-outs are processed on time.

Re-enrolment

Kota runs re-enrolment every three years and prepares the figures for your declaration. You submit it.

Payment deadlines

Kota sends contribution figures to your provider every pay run.

“People think they have to deal with brokers and paperwork, but that is not the case with Kota. It really works from an employee engagement perspective.”

Niamh LangtonStudio Manager, &Open

A few thingsworth knowing.

Can we keep our current provider?

Yes. Appoint Kota and nothing about your scheme changes.

What happens when someone leaves?

Contributions stop on their last pay run, and their pension stays theirs with the provider.

How do we add or remove people?

Kota connects to your HRIS, so joiners are enrolled and leavers come off on their own.

Can employees opt out?

Yes, in the app, within a month of being enrolled, and their contributions are refunded. They’re re-enrolled every three years, as the law requires.

What does it cost?

Your contributions, plus Kota’s per-employee fee. The provider’s annual management charge comes out of each employee’s pension.

What is an annual management charge, and why does it matter?

It’s the yearly fee your pension provider takes from each employee’s savings to manage the funds. Small differences compound over a career, so a lower rate leaves more for retirement. Kota’s rate with Smart Pension is 0.40%.

What is a workplace pension?

A pension a company sets up for its people, paid into from payroll by the employee and the company, with tax relief on what goes in.
