In respect of expenses:

 

£200,000 p.a. to be paid towards the Scheme on or before 31 March each year until 31 December 2029, or such other amount as agreed between the Trustees and the Employers.

 

The Employers may pay contributions in addition to the amounts shown above at any time. Any contributions paid at a rate higher than that required can be offset against later payments due at the request of the Employers.

Due date :

 

Not later than the 19th day of each month in respect of the contributions due for the preceding month.

 

Additional Voluntary Contributions

Members may elect to pay AVCs into either section of the Scheme. AVCs will not be matched by additional employer contributions. AVCs are due to be paid to the Scheme not later than the 19th day of each month in respect of the contributions due for the preceding month.

Salary sacrifice arrangement

Members of the Defined Contribution section of the Scheme may elect to participate in a "salary sacrifice" arrangement. In this case, the member's contributions are paid by the Employers rather than being deducted from the member's pay. The total contribution received by the Scheme is unchanged.

 

 

 

 


 

Expenses and Life Assurance Premiums

The Employers will meet the cost of the Pension Protection Fund (PPF) Levy. Investment management expenses in respect of the Defined Contribution Section will be met from the Scheme's Defined Contribution Section funds.

Other expenses of running the Scheme and life assurance premiums will be met from the Scheme's Defined Benefit funds, although the Trustees and Employers may agree for the Employers to meet some or all of the expenses directly.

In addition, the Employers will also separately meet expenses incurred by the Trustees which are associated with liability reduction exercises.

This schedule has been agreed by the Trustees and the Employers
