The focus is practical: answer the query, produce the calculation, improve the record, help HR explain the position and keep the work traceable.

Annual Pension Benefit Statements

Statement production for active and deferred members, with data checks, exception logs, secure issue and query support.

Calculations and entitlements

Retirement, preserved benefit, death benefit, early retirement, gratuity, supplementary pension and service-related calculations.

HR pension query support

Plain English support on scheme membership, service history, prior service, member options, legislative points and next steps.

Complex casework

Support with purchase of service, PAOs, AVC-related issues, unusual service histories, sensitive interpretation points and member queries.

Accounting and audit support

Support with FRS102 content, actuarial inputs, annual reports, auditor questions, committee material and governance queries.

Employee communication

Briefings, Q&A sessions, explanatory notes and clinics that help staff understand benefits without overwhelming HR.

Good pension support is more than producing a number.

Public sector pension work has to be accurate, explainable and practical for the people who must use it.

Cleaner records

Statement exercises and calculations often expose missing service, pay anomalies, contribution gaps and member status issues.

Less pressure on HR

HR teams get clear outputs, practical wording and a route for follow-up rather than being left to translate technical pension points alone.

Better member communication

Staff get explanations that are understandable, consistent and suited to the public sector pension context.

Traceable decisions

Calculations, assumptions, issue routes, review notes and follow-up actions can be retained in an orderly way.

Start small, then scale the support if needed.

Most enquiries begin with a specific pressure point. That can be a good way to test the fit before moving to wider ongoing support.

1

Review statement readiness

Check data, templates, timing, assumptions and likely member questions before annual statements are issued.

2

Get a second view

Ask for support on a difficult case before it becomes a complaint, payroll issue or late-stage retirement problem.

3

Run a staff session

Use a briefing or clinic to answer common employee questions on public sector pension benefits.

4

Set up ongoing support

Create a regular route for HR queries, calculations, member communications, reporting and governance support.

Simple for the client, controlled behind the scenes.

The public body should not have to manage pension complexity itself. The process is kept clear from first query to final answer.

1

Clarify the issue

Confirm the scheme, member position, deadline, data available and the output needed.

2

Prepare and review

Complete the calculation, statement, note or communication with the right level of technical review.

3

Support the follow-up

Help with employee questions, HR actions, payroll instructions, record updates or auditor queries where relevant.

Public sector pension work needs specialist judgement.

Pension Team combines actuarial, administration, public sector scheme and member communication experience.
