The 60-day consultation for the proposed changes to the University’s Pension and Assurance Scheme for Non-Academic Staff (PASNAS) came to an end at midnight on Tuesday 13 March 2018.
Each and every response received during the consultation will now be read and considered, as well as discussed at the University Executive Board (UEB). While reflecting on the submitted feedback, UEB will continue to work with the Unions over the coming weeks to develop updated proposal(s), before any decision is made on how to progress.
A significant number of eligible staff engaged with the consultation process – more than 730 individuals attended the PASNAS briefing sessions held over January and February this year. The dedicated consultation email address and hotline were also well utilised, with a total of 270 emails being received from 162 individuals, providing a range of view and feedback. As well as current and potential PASNAS members, the Unions were also involved in the consultation and submitted formal responses.
I’d like to thank everyone who took the time to engage in the consultation process, whether that was attending a briefing session or submitting questions for the dedicated FAQ document. We value your feedback and we are acting upon it – it will play an invaluable part in guiding UEB’s discussions.
All current and eligible PASNAS members will be written to once a decision has been made.
