Increased employee contributions for public sector pension schemes
The government has announced how it intends to proceed with plans to increase public service pensions contributions in 2012-13, while plans for talks on pensions reform continue into the autumn.
This announcement follows last year's spending review, in which the government said that public sector workers would be asked to contribute an average of 3.2% more for their pensions, phased in over three years from April 2012.
Each of the public sector pension schemes will shortly start consultations on their proposals for member contribution increases from April 2012.
