You may be eligible to join the scheme if you are employed at the Warwick Medical School and contributed to the NHS Pension scheme within the last 12 months.
Your employee contributions are based on a percentage of your pensionable pay. Contributions rates currently range from 5.2% to 12.5%. Further information is available at Cost of being in the Scheme.
Contribution rates are set based on the pensionable pay range.

If you go on maternity leave you will pay pension contributions based on the actual pay you receive, whilst the University will pay contributions based on your notional pay. i.e. the salary that would have been paid but for the maternity leave.
Upon leaving the University and after your last payment from payroll, the HR Pensions Team will inform NHS Pensions that you have left. They will write to you about your benefits. Generally, your benefits will remain in the Scheme until you claim them on retirement. Alternatively, you may be able to transfer them to an alternative arrangement. This will be detailed in the correspondence you receive from the Scheme Administrator. Further information can be found at Leaving or taking a break from the scheme.
