Pension Trustee Training
From 1 February 2010, compulsory training for all trustees of occupational pension schemes has been introduced in section 59AA of the Pensions Act.
This requirement for training places an obligation on the employer to arrange for all trustees of their pension scheme to receive appropriate training on elements of the Pensions Act, and on the duties and responsibilities of trustees. The only exception to this requirement is if you engage the services of a Pensioneer or Professional trustee.
Where your company is acting as a trustee of their own scheme, you are required to arrange for appropriate training for ALL of the company directors, without exception.
The Pensions Board can prosecute an employer who fails to arrange the appropriate trustee training for trustees by the appropriate deadline. If the Trustees fail to undertake the training, they can become subject to an on the spot fine of €2,000 by the Pensions Board.
