Yes, it's a given that they are already paying their permanent employees a pension. It's their short-term contract staff that they are not currently paying a pension.
I did wonder about the agency / employer differentiation. Does this mean Amazon in theory will be able to avoid contributing the 3% when the reform act kicks in?
