Pension planning

[IanD]

What's a "people's pension"?
A top up to the state pension where both the employer and the employee pay into a private pension pot. The idea is that the government cant afford to pay state pensions for ever, given the demographic time bomb that is our aging population so, eventually, state pensions will get smaller as a proportion of the overall government liability. Individuals will have to save for their retirement or work until they are 75.
I have another question on NICs - I looked at my record and for the period I was in HE I have missing years. That doesn't seem fair/correct. Anyone any idea on this?

Did you work p/t and not pay enough NICs in a financial year to qualify? What sort of contract were you on....classed as self-employed? Best get back to the employer and check your pay slips from the period involved.
