There is a new Final Pay Control supplementary form which is available on the Employers Hub in the Retirement section on the Employer Forms page. The form is designed to streamline the current process.
In all cases you must complete the Final Pay Control supplementary form FPC1 where:
- A member has been awarded a significant pay increase in the last 4 years.
- They are likely to exceed the allowable amount of 4.5% in the last 4 years.
Once you have submitted the retirement application form AW8 in the normal way, for those cases which may be subject to a Final Pay Control (FPC) charge, you must send the completed FPC1 form separately to the Final Pay Control Team at nhsbsa.fpc@nhs.net. This will allow us to:
- Register the form and make an accurate assessment sooner
- Reduce the need to contact you
- Aim to reduce the amount of invoices and revisions issued
NHS Pensions is responsible for calculating and assessing whether there is a FPC charge and failure to complete this form may result in the charge being over (under) stated.
Please ensure you complete all sections of the form fully and provide any additional information on a separate sheet. The form will be returned to you where it has not been fully completed.
The last 3 years pensionable pay should always match the figures provided on the retirement application form AW8.
