Public Sector: Workplace Pensions

Question: To ask His Majesty's Government which public sector employers, including (1) NHS bodies, (2) maintained schools, (3) academy trusts, and (4) transport authorities, operate optional remuneration arrangements involving the sacrifice of earnings for employer pension contributions.

Answer: Remuneration arrangements involving the sacrifice of earnings for employer pension contributions are not possible within statutory Public Service Pension Schemes and those public sector employers to which the Managing Public Money guidance applies are not permitted to offer such remuneration schemes. For other public sector organisations, the Government does not hold a central record of which organisations offer this type of salary sacrifice arrangement.
