Telegraph Money reveals the jobs with the most generous retirement schemes
It is easy to ignore the pensions section of a job advert – especially when they are tucked away with “other benefits” such as gym memberships or discounts at the staff canteen. But they form a highly valuable part of the way you are paid.
While a low salary can be a turn off, a generous pension contribution can easily add thousands of pounds extra to your income once you are retired. So what are Britain’s most generous pensions?
Analysis for Telegraph Money has found that “gold-plated” public sector schemes are still the amongst the best on offer, but there are handful of private sector businesses offering to contribute similar amounts towards your retirement.
All businesses are legally obliged to offer a retirement savings scheme to their staff, and enrol them unless they actively opt out.
