Special issues for women saving at work
If you're a woman who's not too sure about company super schemes, read on.
Many women steer clear of the company super scheme because they are planning to leave work and start a family or they work part-time and think they might not be eligible.
Our advice to you is simple - don't assume anything.
Part-timers are eligible for many schemes. Some schemes will let you take a break from contributing while you're on maternity leave, and you can rejoin the scheme later.
In any case, even a short spell in a workplace scheme can be worthwhile, especially if your employer offers a top-up or pays the fees.
If your employer offers this sort of scheme, make sure you check it out. Look at our questions to ask before joining to help you understand how the scheme works.
