NHS pension and unsocial hours

masco1

Does anyone know if unsocial hours payments are taken into consideration when calculating pension? Wife is part time and in final year of work. She is a member of the 1995 scheme and does a lot of weekends/bank holidays. Thanks

The above may help although it is from 2011 - is there a more recent version available to staff through an NHS portal?

I believe the 1995 scheme is Final Salary and the calculation is based on the best year of salary in the final 3 years.

2008 Scheme is average earn't in last 3 years.

2015 scheme is CARE (not final salary but based on contributions)

In the "old days" unsocial hours were often paid according to local arrangements but were not superannuable.


With modern contracts and Agenda for Change (AfC) all salary is superannuable under the 1995 scheme.
