When a member has elected to take Additional Pension, please can you make sure that the contributions you deduct for them are in line with the amount that has been requested by Teachers’ Pensions.

We’ve had a few cases recently where members have requested employers to increase their contributions without reference to any new election or instruction from us. If this happens members will not be credited with any Additional Pension and you will need to refund the extra deductions you made back to your employee.
