CBI: Older workers will avoid Nest paymentsThe Confederation for British Industry (CBI) has warned that millions of private sector workers will avoid saving unless compulsory workplace pension schemes are overhauled.

From 2012, the government's National Employment Savings Trust (Nest) scheme, which is designed to simplify the pension process in order to encourage more of the 11.7 million private sector workers to save, will come into effect for those who don’t already have a pension plan.

The scheme will take an annual charge from employees' contributions - an initial two per cent of all deposits and an annual 0.3 per cent management charge - and the CBI has urged a rethink on these plans as savers in a private sector scheme will be better off.

According to John Cridland, CBI deputy director-general, workers in their 40s and 50s will be particularly affected as they will only make Nest savings for a few years.

Mr Cridland said: "Nest is meant to be low-cost and easy to understand so that it spurs people to start saving, but the risk is that many staff will think they're getting a raw deal and will quit."
