  • Answer:

    Probably because we’ve received information that you may be re-employed after your retirement, and we need to assess the impact on your pension. The form provides all the information required to determine if your pension is affected by your re-employment. Failure to complete the form could result in an overpayment of your pension that you’ll be required to repay.

    Irrespective of the number of days you’ve worked, if we request one, you must submit a fully completed Certificate of Re-Employment (PDF, 437 KB) (This link opens in a new window) to ensure that your pension has not been overpaid. You can also complete the form online, via My Pension Online.

  • Answer:

    If you are re-employed following retirement and we request a Certificate of Re-employment, please take steps to complete the form and then continue to do so each time it’s requested. If we ask you to complete a certificate of re-employment and you don’t it may result in your pension being overpaid, if abatement applies, which you will be required to repay.

  • Answer:

    You need to complete a Certificate of Re-employment each time one is requested (this is typically each tax year).

  • Answer:

    If requested by us, you’ll need to send us a Certificate of Re-employment for every tax year you’re working following your retirement. You must tell us if the hours you work or the salary you’re receiving changes in any way.
