Workplace pension rollout reaches businesses with 15 to 50 employees

Businesses employing between 15 and 50 employees now need to have a compliant workplace pension scheme in place.

Employers now have a 90-day window, until the 30th of September, to register their pension scheme with the Pensions Commissioner.

Unite the Union says a workplace pension is not simply a legal obligation but an investment in employees’ future. It adds providing a pension demonstrates a commitment to the workforce’s long-term financial security, helps employees retire with dignity and supports the recruitment and retention of skilled staff.

The Union urges all employers to ensure they comply with their legal obligations, adding workplace pensions are a fundamental employment right and a significant milestone in strengthening labour protections in Gibraltar.

Unite's Branch Coordinating Official, Christian Duo, says this marks an important milestone in the implementation of Gibraltar’s workplace pensions framework. Every worker, he says, deserves the opportunity to build a better future after a lifetime of hard work.

The Union welcomes the continued rollout of workplace pensions across Gibraltar.  It says the reform represents a significant step forward for workers’ rights and demonstrates a shared commitment to ensuring that every employee has the opportunity to retire with greater financial security.
