North Yorkshire Pension Fund Employer Contribution Rates

Have you ever wondered how much your employer puts in to your pension pot for you? Well take a look below. The figures show the minimum percentage of your pensionable pay that your employer contributes to the pension scheme each time that you get paid. In some cases the employer pays even more either as a lump sum or as an extra percentage – this is known as a ‘deficit’ payment. The employer must pay what’s needed to make sure that you receive the full amount of pension when you retire.

Almost all employers pay substantial sums into the Pension Fund and the amounts vary greatly. There are a number of reasons for this but the main ones are:

 Some employers decided to pay more money in to the Fund in previous years so they could reduce their payments later on. Some employers paid less in previous years which means their payments are now higher.

 Each employer joined the Pension Fund at a different time. Contributions are invested in financial markets (such as the London Stock Exchange) but if an employer joined the Fund when investments weren’t performing very well their contributions would have to be increased in later years to compensate.

 Some employers don’t let new employees join the LGPS which usually means they have to pay much more into the Pension Fund to pay off any deficit they may have.
