    It sits alongside your main scheme benefits. See https://www.home.avcwise.co.uk/ for more info.
    Googling on your question might have been both quicker and easier, if you're only after simple facts rather than opinions!

    A salary sacrifice will reduce earnings and therefore reduce pension benefits paid at retirement. I got this info from the web. Is it worth transferring%? Thanks.

    Depends which pension scheme you are part of and assuming your have a pay related defined benefit pension. For example the NHS reduces benefits (as I understand it) while the LGPS does not.
