Whilst a company must provide employees with access to a stakeholder pensions scheme;
1) There is no compulsion for employees to join that or any other stakeholder scheme
2) There is no requirement for the employer to make contributions on behalf of their employees.
'Providing access' to a scheme in most cases is little more than supplying the address of a pension supplier.
