In addition, the granting of such entitlements to fixed-term workers will have the effect of increasing overall pension coverage levels. As the House is no doubt aware, all parties to the Sustaining Progress social partnership agreement share the objective that the level of coverage of occupational pensions schemes should be increased and are committed to co-operating to promote improvements in the coverage of schemes towards the national pensions policy initiative target of 70% of the workforce over 30 years. In that context, employers who exclude employees from their pension scheme, or who limit eligibility for a scheme, must, from 15 September 2003, provide access to at least one standard personal retirement savings account – PRSA.
