A question about : NEST for Employers

Let's say a husband and wife start a business and they're their only staff.

If they personally want to opt-out of NEST, does their business still need to set one up?

Secondly, I notice the charges are high 1.8% + 0.3%, does anyone have any idea when they will be lowered (i believe they are high now to pay for the costs of setting the whole thing up).

Thanks

A question about : Automatic pension

Hiya

I plan on joining my work pension scheme sometime between sept 2013-jan 2014 and they are aware of this. Does this goverment scheme on the news today mean I will be forced to put into a pension before then? I am unable to afford at the moment which is one of the reasons I am not in one. It is worrying that I may be forced into a scheme before then when I cannot afford it and am trying to clear some debts to make for a better life for my young family.

Thanks!
