Pension Benefits
An important part of the pay and reward package Tate offers employees is the option to join the Civil Service Pension arrangements. These arrangements offer a choice of two types of pension:
•nuvos. This is a high quality, index-linked defined benefit occupational pension scheme that currently has a member contribution rate which ranges from 3.5% to 8.25% dependant on your salary. As your employer we meet the rest of the cost of the scheme. Further information about this can be obtained from www.civilservice.gov.uk/pensions
•partnership pension account. This is a stakeholder pension with a contribution from ourselves. How much we pay is based on your age. We pay this regardless of whether you choose to contribute anything. You do not have to contribute but, if you do, we will also match your contributions up to 3% of your pensionable earnings. The contributions are in addition to the age-related contribution mentioned above.
If you have previously worked for an employer who participated in the Civil Service Pension scheme different conditions may apply.
