Individuals and employees should ask questions such as:

Is my employer legally obliged to provide a pension?
Will my spouse take a share?
Can my wife take a share of my pension?
What are my rights to a state pension?
What happens to pensions on divorce?

As an employer you will be wanting to find out:

Are there any tax benefits involved with pensions?

How do we go about establishing an employee pension scheme?
