Can someone help me understand my dismal workplace pension pot.
I've worked part time for my employer since 2019. I've been paying into my pension since November 2019.
My contribution fluctuates with my hours but its approximate £25 to £40 p/m.
In 2020/2021/2022 I would regularly get letters from NEST saying they've reported my employer for not contributing.
I moved house and forgot all about it.
Today I thought I would check it out, so I rang NEST because I couldn't make an account. I find out my employer last contributed in December 2025. Not only that but my 'pot' is at a dismal £190.
I asked my employer for my payslips for the last few months because he never sends them to find out im still contributing and have never stopped.
My question is: 7 years of contributions and my pot has nothing in it. How is that? I may have misheard the advisor but surely that's not right?
