In April, the Government of Gibraltar introduced a Bill for Pensions in the Private Sector, which will ensure that private sector workers are entitled to have a choice, by law, on whether they wish to make a contribution to a pension plan. The Bill was passed in to law in July 2019 (although we are still waiting on an effective date for it to be applicable). If an employee does choose to participate in a pension plan, the law will require the employer to contribute towards that employee’s pension plan.

It is anything but average and mundane.
