The scheme actuary valued the scheme as at 31 March 2007. You can find details in the resource accounts of the Cabinet Office: Civil Superannuation (www.civilservice-pensions.gov.uk). For 2007-08, employers’ contributions of £ 3,642,229 were payable to the PCSPS (2006/07 £3,257,917) at one of four rates in the range 17.1% to 25.5% of pensionable pay, based on salary bands. The scheme’s Actuary reviews employer contributions every four years following a full scheme valuation. From 2008/09, the salary bands will be revised but the rates will remain the same.(The rates will be changing with effect from April 2009) The contribution rates are set to meet the cost of the benefits accruing during 2007/08 to be paid when the member retires, and not the benefits paid during this period to existing pensioners. Employees can opt to open a partnership pension account, a stakeholder pension with an employer contribution. Employers’ contributions of £ 44,958 were paid to one or more of a panel of three appointed stakeholder pension providers. Employer contributions are age related and range from 3% to 12.5% of pensionable pay. Employers also match employee contributions up to 3% of pensionable pay. In addition, employer contributions of £3,275 0.8% of pensionable pay, were payable to the PCSPS to cover the cost of the future provision of lump sum benefits on death in service and ill health retirement of these employees. Contributions due to the partnership pension providers, at the balance sheet date were £ nil. Contributions prepaid at that date were £4,745 One person retired early on ill-health grounds; the total additional accrued pension liabilities in the year amounted to £6,094 REPORT & ACCOUNTS 62
