What it means

A workplace pension is arranged by your employer. Company and occupational pension are other names you may see.

The benefit type still matters

Check whether the scheme is defined contribution or defined benefit. Workplace describes the arrangement, not a guarantee that there is a cash pot.

Where to go next

Read the linked guide for an example and a practical next step. Keep the date and source of any information you use; a definition cannot confirm a record in your name.
