OSPS changes in summary
As per our communication last November, changes to the University of Oxford Staff Pension Scheme (OSPS) came into effect from 1 January 2013. Going forward, active OSPS members build up pension benefits on a Career Average Revalued Earnings basis (known as ‘CARE’). All members were given the option to select their contribution rate (Lower, Standard or Higher) and the speed at which their pension builds up, referred to as the ‘accrual rate’. There was a good response from active members, with around 50% making a selection and over 30% of all members opting for the higher cost plan.
If you have any specific questions regarding these changes, please contact David James, OSPS Pensions Officer via osps@admin.ox.ac.uk. Or alternatively, for a summary of the recent changes please refer to the recently published OSPS Information Summary
