star this property answer text <p>The Department for Education is asking schools, like other employers across the public sector, to contribute more towards their employees’ pensions to ensure that the cost of public sector pension schemes do not fall unfairly on taxpayers. Our protection of the core schools budget in real terms means that schools are well-placed to cope with changes in their costs in 2015-16. The Department has also deferred the introduction of the increase to September 2015, giving schools an additional five months to plan how they will meet the additional pensions cost.</p><p>In addition, the Chancellor confirmed that the next spending review will take into account the cost to employers of the reforms to the Teachers’ Pension Scheme and the implications for National Insurance.</p> more like this

star this property answer text <p>Supply teachers, who are employed by accepted employers, are able to participate in the Teachers’ Pension Scheme, and already do so. These are most commonly teachers employed by local authorities to provide supply cover to maintained schools. The employer-employee relationship is important because the employer is responsible for meeting a number of obligations, which include paying both member and employer contributions to the scheme.</p><p>Schools and local authorities are responsible for the recruitment of their supply teachers, including decisions over whether to use private agencies to recruit and manage them. If a teacher is supplied by a private agency, this is a private commercial arrangement between the school and the agency and as such there is no employer-employee relationship between the school and teacher. It is for schools and local authorities to determine how they engage supply teachers and, depending on whether this is through private agencies or accepted employers, whether participation in the scheme is permitted.</p>

star this property answer text <p>Supply teachers are able to participate in the Teachers' Pension Scheme (TPS) where they are employed by an ‘accepted employer'. In the main, these are local authorities (LAs), academies and further education colleges. This includes supply teachers who are recruited by a supply agency but then employed directly, under a contract of employment, by the accepted employer. The LA, academy or further education college is responsible for meeting a number of obligations that fall to employers under the teachers' pensions regulations, not least of which is to pay the employer contribution to the TPS.</p><p> </p><p>However, where supply teachers are self-employed or remain employed by the supply agency, and their services are provided under a ‘contract for services', it is not possible for them to participate in the TPS. This is because the Department for Education cannot mandate that private sector employers participate in the scheme.</p><p> </p><p>It is for LAs, academies and further education colleges to determine how supply teachers are employed – which can in turn enable access to the TPS under the current arrangements.</p>

star this property answer text <p>We undertake valuations of the public service pension schemes every four years. This is the first time that a full assessment of the pension schemes has been undertaken since the government introduced reformed schemes in 2015. Early indications are that the amount employers pay towards the schemes will need to increase. This is because of proposed changes to the discount rate, which is used to assess the current cost of future payments from the schemes, to reflect the Office for Budget Responsibility’s long-term growth forecasts. Further details will be known later this year.</p><p>Some increase in costs was anticipated at Budget 16, which departments and the devolved administrations will need to meet in full. Treasury will be supporting departments with any unforeseen costs for 2019/20. Further discussions will be taken forward as part of the Spending Review.</p> more like this
