Detail

2019 Scheme Year Planner

We have now published the 2019 Scheme Year Planner. This can be found on the Employer Webpages

The Scheme Year Planner is a working document that sets out most of the key events (linked to the pension scheme) that will take place during 2019.

The Scheme Year Planner has a wealth of information and dates for employers to take note of and act upon as necessary.

From Training events, and Employer Engagement activity, to highlighting when there are deadlines and peaks of activity for members to note, the Scheme Year Planner is a key document for the coming twelve months.

Some of the key information includes:

  • Care Year End deadline;
  • Civil Service Live (dates and locations);
  • EPA deadlines;
  • Annual Benefit Statement production and deadline dates;
  • Regional Employer Forums (dates and locations);
  • Pension Awareness Week.

The planner has proved extremely popular and useful since its launch in 2016 and we hope you will be able to make use of it in the coming calendar year.

Please note that the document, whilst up-to-date currently, is subject to changes beyond our control (including legislative changes), as well as new information being added. As such, we recommend that you download a copy at the start of each month to ensure you have the latest version.
