Single Public Service Pension Scheme: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how this pension scheme works for public servants recruited after 2013 and what it means for your future retirement income.
The Single Public Service Pension Scheme is a retirement plan designed for public sector employees who joined the service after 2013.
Who it's for
This scheme applies specifically to public servants who were recruited to their positions after 2013.
What you get
You receive a pension that is calculated based on your career-average revalued earnings. This means your retirement income is linked to what you earned throughout your working life, adjusted for inflation or changes in value over time.
What it costs you
The scheme is funded through employee contributions, which are automatically deducted from your salary.
The catch to know
It is important to understand that this scheme is distinct from the older "Pre-2013" schemes. Depending on when you started your career, you may be under this scheme or an older version, and the rules for how your pension is calculated differ between them.
How to apply
- Check your recruitment date to confirm if you fall under this specific scheme.
- Review your official pension statement to see your current projected benefits.
