Pensions – Paying Additional Voluntary Contributions (AVCs)

USS, NHSPS and GMPF members
You will need to contact your Pension Scheme directly to make an AVC election. Once your instruction has been received, we will process it in the following calendar month. For example, an election made in January will take effect in the February payroll.

UMSS members
You will need to submit the relevant request via Connect. We will process your request as soon as possible. Deadlines broadly align with those for submitting information to People Services, as outlined in the payroll tables above.

Pension Saver members
Although AVCs are not available under this scheme, you can change your contribution rate by submitting the appropriate request via Connect. Similar timeframes apply as for UMSS members.

If you have any queries, please contact the Pensions Office via Connect.
