Employees who are members of the USS, PASNAS or USRF pension schemes are able to fund their contributions to these schemes via salary sacrifice. Contributions will automatically be deducted from pay via salary sacrifice, from the fourth full month of employment, unless the employee instructs the Payroll team otherwise.
Employees who are members of pension schemes other than USS, PASNAS or USRF are not able to make pension contributions via salary sacrifice, as the rules of these schemes do not permit this funding method.
Changing how your contributions are funded
If you wish to change how you fund your contributions, i.e. from salary sacrifice to ordinary deductions or vice versa, please contact the Payroll team (payroll@soton.ac.uk).
