    I've not heard of salary sacrifice in an educational setting (at least not in England); how common is it? I know it occurs in other forms of employment but nobody I know in the teaching sector seems familiar with it.

    TPS and USS (universities) are both salary sacrifice.  So SS is the norm.  I suspect people might not be familiar as with DB schemes, people are generally less aware of the finer details.

  • Yes, I am in the USS and my contributions (or more accurately my employer contributions) to both the DB and DC parts of the scheme are definitely Salary Sacrifice
