This section of our website endeavours to give you basic information on our pension schemes.

Please note that the purpose of this information is to give a general guide to the pension schemes and does not purport to be a legal interpretation. Therefore, it cannot confer any rights which are not conferred by the superannuation scheme themselves.

Our Pension Schemes

At present, there are a number of Superannuation Schemes in operation for staff members of WWETB. All newly recruited staff, appointed to a pensionable post are members of one of the following schemes:

  • The Education and Training Board Teachers Superannuation Scheme (for teachers employed by WWETB who have had continuous employment in the public sector prior to 01 January 2013);
  • The Education Sector Superannuation Scheme (for other staff employed by WWETB who have had continuous employment in the public sector prior to 01 January 2013),
  • The Single Public Service Pension Scheme (SPSPS) for all pensionable first-time entrants to the public service since 01 January 2013, including former public servants returning to the public service after a break of more than 26 weeks

The ETB Teachers and the Education Sector pension schemes are defined benefit schemes i.e. final salary defined benefit schemes which give a pension based on service and final pensionable remuneration (salary plus pensionable allowances).

The Single Public Service Pension Scheme is a defined benefit, career average Scheme. Career average earnings are used to calculate benefits (a pension and lump sum amount accrue each year and are up-rated each year by reference to CPI).
