NHS Pensions - You as an Employer
In this podcast, we are joined by Jan Harley-Doyle from Lifestyle Options. Jan is passionate about improving the working lives of staff in General Practice and works independently to support and train non-clinical practice staff.
Jan explains why employers should attend our forthcoming training 'NHS Pensions - You as an Employer'.
This training is ideal for those who administer the pension scheme or who have responsibility for ensuring it is correctly administered. Remember: Outsourcing does NOT remove the practice's legal responsibility. As Jan explains, this training will provide an overview of the NHS Pension Scheme (inc the 1995, 2008 and 2015 sections) including:
Employer responsibilities (inc end of year reporting)
Pension administration basis (inc common errors and their effect on retirement benefits)
Potential consequences of incorrect administration
Retirement options (inc ‘Retire & Return’ and ‘Drawdown’)
Processing retirement applications
The implications of McCloud and final pay controls
The NHS Pension as a potential tool for increasing staff retention in general practice
Staying up to date with pension changes
