I've asked the dons to move this to GD probably get a more varied response.

Letterbox and boxing stance etc

I wouldn't be going to the FSO to complain about my own employer unless I really hated my job and didn't give monkey about my future prospects. Maybe you should ask them why contributions were deducted from you salary after you had previously told them to stop?

They have a duty to re enrol you every year if you opt out but it shouldn't happen every 2 months unless its the same time that the policy has an anniversary. Its odd opting out, you lose the money you would have got from them so it doesn't make much sense. Would make more sense to stick with it and have your own as a side one, if you leave the job then combine to your main.

I'm not sure why anyone would decline a company pension unless your circumstances mean your contribution no matter how small is not affordable. Or you have already maxed your pot.

Proximity to retirement, outside of the two factors above, should have no bearing. Unless I'm overlooking something.

Depends if you ever expect to retire.

It's every 3 years to be auto enrolled back, if you have opted out. Not every year.

Speak to your manager and / or HR and tell them Payroll keep ballsing up your pay.

Why wouldn't you want the free top up from your employer?

He said he will drop dead soon, so it's not worth it

Seems a no brainer just to take the pension?

I recently increased my contributions, 8% of salary and my employer puts in 12% , so 20% a month of my salary goes into my pension , hopefully by the time I’ll retire I’ll be sitting on circa 500k
