I am not in the pension at work,

Apparently standard life are forcing people to opt in before they can opt out. and my work said they are not allowed to opt out on my behalf anymore, I find this quite strange. So they will take my contribution on my next salary then I have to cancel it with them and then get it back the next pay day.

is this really allowed?

Yes. it is called auto-enrolment.

When the new pension regulations kicked in it requires Companies to enrol everyone on the payroll into a pension scheme.

the individual can opt-out but be aware that you will be automatically re-enrolled in 3 years time.

tl;dr - you will default into a pension scheme.
