What if I marry or have children?
Every time your personal circumstances change you must complete a new Notice of Wish form. This is to give the Trustees a guide when distributing any death Lump sum benefits.
You should also send us original birth and marriage certificates. These will be returned by recorded delivery.
If you are on maternity leave, your pension contributions stop automatically. When you return you will be given the option to pay contributions for the period of unpaid leave. If you choose not to make these back payments, that period of service will not count in your pension calculation and your pension at retirement will be lower.
If you decide not to return to work after maternity leave you will be entitled to benefits as if you had left on the last day of your paid maternity leave.
