    This is common where I work. Cutting work to stay under 100k

      It does encourage pension contributions though. It’s stupid that it doesn’t even seem to be going up with inflation?

        They don’t contribute more to pension. They just cut the number of hours they’ll accept to keep the salary below the threshold. Or maybe get a salary sacrifice car lease or something.

        And only if you have a salary sacrifice pension scheme and can choose your contribution amount.
