Dear Colleagues
A limited liability company decides to suspend the company's pension contributions due to the recent downturn in the economy.
 
Its Managing Director writes:
"Dear colleagues,
As you are aware, the downturn in the economy has had a substantial effect on the company's business in the UK.We have for the past 4 months incurred considerable losses month on month due to the low sales order intake and are now faced with further bad debt from the ????? group which will compound the situation further.As a result of this we need to take measures in order to reduce our overheads and protect the business.
 
As per previous discussions, among other cost cutting measures, it has been unanimously agreed by staff to suspend the company's pension contrbutions for 12 month period. To this effect, can you please confirm your agreement signing below, and returning to me." (signed:Managing Director).
 
You might think that more facts are needed to be able to comment reasonably, but as the statement stands 'can the company twist the arm of its employees in the way? Any thoughts!
 
Thanks
 
Stephen
