Superannuation

The Superannuation section is responsible for payment of pensions on a weekly basis, and for the preparation of lump sum and pension calculations for retirees. It also provides an advisory service, which includes calling to employees prior to retirement, offering help and advice to widows of employees as required and assisting in the presentation of pre-retirement courses.

The key activities of this section are as follows:

• Payment of lump sums and pensions for retirees.
• Dealing with queries from staff and pensioners regarding entitlements.
• Dealing with service queries.
• Ensuring staff are fully advised, following meetings with the Superannuation Officer, of all entitlements prior to retirement.
• Calling to widows or widowers of employees to offer advice and help, as required.
• Organising refunds of superannuation contributions, as appropriate.
