OMERS Pension Guide

Introducing your company pension scheme If you want to make the most of your retirement years, it’s so important to prepare well. The simple fact is, the sooner you start putting some money aside for it, the greater your chances of being able to afford the retirement you want. And that’s why we’re so pleased to introduce your company pension scheme to you today.

A key part of your benefits package Your company pension scheme is one of the most important parts of your benefits package. It gives you a way of building up a pot of money that you can use to help fund your retirement. And any of your money paid in may also benefit from tax relief from the government. Your tax treatment depends on your main place of residence as advised to us by HMRC and your other individual circumstances. The tax treatment may be subject to change in the future.
