Pensions

Superannuation Schemes

The University of Dundee operates 6 occupational pension schemes with a total membership of c. 2,500 employees.

The Scheme that you are eligible to join is determined by your staff category.

Each Scheme has its own Rules and your benefits will be calculated according to the specific requirements of your Scheme. For information specific to your scheme please refer to the member's booklet or speak to the Pensions Manager.

All of the schemes are "final salary" (aka Defined Benefit/DB schemes) which means that your pension will be based on a combination of your final pensionable salary (usually defined as your earnings in the twelve months before retirement) and your service in the Scheme.

The Schemes are:-

• Universities Superannuation Scheme (USS)
• The NHS Scheme for Scotland (NHSSS)
• The University of Dundee Superannuation and Life Assurance Scheme (UoDSS)
• The Tayside Regional Council Superannuation Scheme (aka TRC)
• Scottish Teachers Superannuation Scheme (STSS)
• The Strathclyde Pension Scheme (SPS)
