Download or read book Pensions Act 2011 written by Great Britain and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2011-11-08 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Pensions Act 2011 amends the timetable for increasing the state pension age to 66. Under the Pensions Act (PA) 2007, the increase to 66 was due to take effect between 2024 and 2026. This Act will bring forward the increase so that state pension age for both men and women will begin rising from 65 in December 2018 to reach 66 by October 2020. As a result of bringing forward the increase to 66, the timetable contained in the PA 1995 for equalising women's state pension age with men's at 65 by April 2020 will be accelerated, so that women's state pension age reaches 65 by November 2018. The Act introduces amendments to primary legislation to amend the regulatory framework for the duty on employers to automatically enrol eligible workers into a qualifying pension scheme and to contribute to the scheme. These measures implement recommendations from the Making Automatic Enrolment Work review (Cm. 7954, ISBN 9780101795425). The Act amends existing legislation that provides for revaluation or indexation of occupational pensions and payments by the Pension Protection Fund. This Act also contains a number of measures to correct particular references in the existing body of pensions-related legislation and other small and technical measures to both state and private pension legislation. The Act is in six parts. The amendments made by the Act generally extend to England and Wales and to Scotland.

Book excerpt: Connected and Associated: Insolvency and Pensions Law discusses, in detail, the meaning and scope of the 'connected', 'associated' and 'control' tests used in the Insolvency Act 1986.

Connected and Associated: Insolvency and Pensions Law will help you to: - Decide whether a person is connected or associated with another under the insolvency test for the purposes of preferences, transactions at an undervalue, or voting in creditor meetings - Decide whether there is a risk of falling within the potential target net for a contribution notice or financial support direction under the moral hazard powers of the Pensions Regulator in the Pensions Act 2004 - Check whether an investment by a pension scheme is within the limits on employer-related investment under the Pensions Act 1995 - Work out when a disposal by an administrator will be to a connected person - Work out who satisfies the independence test for an evaluator - Deal with connected person voting majorities in a creditor vote in a CVA and a Part A1 Moratorium - Understand the implications of the Administration (Restriction on Disposal etc. to Connected Persons) Regulations 2021 Written by David Pollard, one of the leading experts in this field, this is the only in-depth review of the complex test for connected or associated persons and, as such, is an essential title for insolvency and pension lawyers, litigators, pension trustees, employers, investors, lenders and their advisers.

Book Synopsis State and Local Pensions by : Alicia H. Munnell
Download or read book State and Local Pensions written by Alicia H. Munnell and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2012-08-27 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the wake of the financial crisis and Great Recession, the health of state and local pension plans has emerged as a front burner policy issue. Elected officials, academic experts, and the media alike have pointed to funding shortfalls with alarm, expressing concern that pension promises are unsustainable or will squeeze out other pressing government priorities. A few local governments have even filed for bankruptcy, with pensions cited as a major cause. Alicia H. Munnell draws on both her practical experience and her research to provide a broad perspective on the challenge of state and local pensions. She shows that the story is big and complicated and cannot be viewed through a narrow prism such as accounting methods or the role of unions. By examining the diversity of the public plan universe, Munnell debunks the notion that all plans are in trouble. In fact, she finds that while a few plans are basket cases, many are functioning reasonably well. Munnell's analysis concludes that the plans in serious trouble need a major overhaul. But even the relatively healthy plans face three challenges ahead: an excessive concentration of plan assets in equities; the risk that steep benefit cuts for new hires will harm workforce quality; and the constraints plans face in adjusting future benefits for current employees. Here, Munnell proposes solutions that preserve the main strengths of state and local pensions while promoting needed reforms.
Book Synopsis Liability of Corporate Groups and Networks by : Christian A. Witting
Download or read book Liability of Corporate Groups and Networks written by Christian A. Witting and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2018-01-11 with total page 501 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What happens when a corporate subsidiary or network company is unable to pay personal injury victims in full? This book sets out to tackle the 'insolvent entity problem', especially as it arises in cases of mass wrongdoing such as those involving asbestos exposure and defective pharmaceuticals. After discussing the nature of corporate groups and networks from the perspectives of business history, organisation studies, and social theory, the book assesses a range of rules and proposed rules for extending liability for personal injuries beyond insolvent entities. New proposals are put forward for an exception to the rule of limited liability and for the development of a flexible new tort based on conspiracy that encompasses not only control-based relationships but also horizontal coordination between companies. The book concludes with a general discussion of lessons learned from debates about extended liability and provides guidelines for the development of new liability rules.
Book Synopsis Privatizing Pensions by : Mitchell A. Orenstein
Download or read book Privatizing Pensions written by Mitchell A. Orenstein and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2008-08-11 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To what extent do international organizations, global policy networks, and transnational policy entrepreneurs influence domestic policy makers? Have we entered a new phase of globalization that, unbeknownst to most citizens, shapes policies that used to be the sole domain of domestic politics? Privatizing Pensions reveals how international institutions--such as the World Bank, USAID, and other transnational policy actors--have played a seminal role in the development, diffusion, and implementation of new pension reforms that are transforming the postwar social contract in more than thirty countries worldwide, including the United States. Mitchell Orenstein shows how transnational actors have driven change in a policy area once thought to be beyond reform in many countries, and how they have done so by deploying their unique resources and legitimacy to promote new ideas, recruit disciples worldwide, and provide a broad range of technical assistance to government reformers over the long term. He demonstrates that while domestic decision makers may retain veto power over these reforms--which replace traditional social security with individual pension savings accounts--transnational policy makers play the role of "proposal actors," shaping the information, preferences, and resources of their domestic clients. Privatizing Pensions argues that even the most quintessentially domestic areas of policy have been thoroughly globalized, and that these international influences must be better understood.

This book was released on 2007-05-11 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report is intended to inform Members of both Houses on the further proceedings of the Pensions Bill and the Government undertakings relating to the Financial Assistance Scheme that will form part of the Bill. An additional clause to the Bill, clause 18, was added in April 2007, which aimed to increase the scope and benefits given by the Financial Assistance Scheme (FAS) so that members of affected pension schemes are now eligible for payments of 80% of their core pension rights up to a cap of £26,000. Eligible schemes are those schemes that started winding up between 1 January 1997 and 5 April 2005, as a result of the sponsoring employer becoming insolvent. Further, the Government has announced it will also include schemes where the sponsoring employer remained solvent, along with a review of the use of assets in FAS pension schemes. The Committee believes the Government should seek ways to do more for improvements to FAS. This report contains a brief description of proposals to extend the Financial Assistance Scheme to cover those who lost pension rights when a solvent employer wound up a scheme. It also includes correspondence from the Department for Work and Pensions.
Book Synopsis German Pension Reform by : Christina Benita Wilke
Download or read book German Pension Reform written by Christina Benita Wilke and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2009 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The German pension system was the first formal pension system in the world, designed by Bismarck nearly 120 years ago. It has been very successful in providing high and reliable pension levels at reasonable contribution rates. While the generosity of the German pension system is considered a great social achievement, negative incentive effects of past reforms in the 1970s and 1980s and population aging are threatening the very core of the system. This has led to fundamental pension reforms since 1992. Based on a detailed simulation model of the German pension system, this book provides a thorough assessment of the system and its reforms. It shows that the latest reforms have put the system back onto a stable path and moved it from the old monolithic towards a multi-pillar system.
