The pensions team provides support to new starters and leavers, and deal with transfers between pension schemes, retirements and general pensions enquiries. They also provide technical support to ensure current and future legislative changes are reviewed regularly and assess the impact these changes may have on the pension schemes, Trustees and Members.

The main schemes operated by the University are:

• Universities Superannuation Scheme (USS),
• The University of Sheffield Pension Scheme (USPS), and
• The National Health Service Pension Scheme (NHSPS)

A small number of staff contribute to Personal and/or Stakeholder Pension Schemes. The other Pensions Schemes that we deal with regularly are:

• Federated Superannuation System for Universities (FSSU)
• Personal Pensions - Cavendish Instruments Pension Scheme (CIPs) and ProActus Executive Pension Scheme
• Stakeholder Pension Schemes - ECUS, SEAMS and MAIN

If you are visiting the Department of Finance in person then you can find out more about how to find us and our opening times.
