Hi - can I seek further clarification of the rules regarding pension contributions and the NMW? I am semi-retired, receiving income from a private pension and a part-time job of around £25k per annum. I have an additional part-time job with hours to suit both employer/employee mostly in the Spring & Summer months. This job has an hourly rate of £12.19 plus a pension scheme which I have opted into. It is a small job earning around £1000 - £1200 per annum. Last year I asked for all of my salary to be paid into my pension which was granted. This year I have been told this is not possible because this would take me below the NMW & a copy of this thread was provided. Is this correct? If so, how can anyone on the NMW ever contribute into a pension scheme provided by their employer?
