My company, like many others, are experiencing the knock-on effect of the current economic crisis.

We are looking at all options to save money to help us get through without having to let too many people go.

A couple of our Directors have suggested we look at removing/reducing some of our company benefits.

We currently offer a pension which the company contributes 5.25% per employee to, private healthcare and death in service insurance to name the most expensive.

Can anyone advise me whether there are any of these which we have to offer by law and if so, what the minimum is (for example, minimum pension contributions or minimum death in service cover).
