I would like to apply to join USPS

To be eligible for membership of The University of Sheffield Pension Scheme (USPS) University employees must be:

• Aged from 18, and
• Usually on Grades 1-5 (or equivalent) of the University Salary Scale

New Members will be entered into the Flexible Retirement Plan Section of the Scheme. The Final Salary Section has no active members.

If you were eligible for this Scheme when you started your employment with the University, you will have been offered the opportunity to join at that date during the new starter process.

If you do not choose to join USPS within six months of first becoming eligible for membership, and subsequently decide you would like to join USPS, you will need to complete an application form, which can be found at the following link Application Form.

If you decide to join the Scheme, you will also automatically be entered into the Pay Plus for pensions’ arrangement, unless you complete a form to opt out. You can also find further information on the implications of Pay Plus for pensions on the University web pages or via the leaflet you will have been given when you commenced employment.
