SUSURF is a defined contribution retirement scheme provided by Royal London and administered by the University of Southampton and the Students' Union for employees of the Students' Union.
Life assurance and ill health benefits are also provided to members.
You can join SUSURF if:
You will be contractually enrolled into SUSURF with effect from the date you become eligible to join.
You can opt out of the scheme at any stage of your membership. However, to comply with pension auto enrolment legislation you will be enrolled back into a pension scheme at each 3rd year anniversary of the Students' Union staging date.
Please contact Students' Union HR team if you would like to join or re-join the scheme.
If you do not join SUSURF when first able to do so, or if you decide to opt out of the scheme, you can join or re-join the scheme at a later date by request to the Students' Union.
Please contact the
Students' Union HR team
if you would like to join or re-join the scheme
If you decide not to join SUSURF, or decide to opt out later, you will not be saving towards a pension for retirement or be covered by life assurance if you were to die while employed by the Students' Union.
Remember:
It is possible to transfer benefits from a previous pension arrangement into SUSURF.
Please contact Royal London for more information on how to do this.
