As at the current date my Department has received sixteen confirmed notifications of retirement on or before the 29 February 2012 deadline for payment of retirement benefits based on pre-1 January 2010 salary scales. This figure includes three staff who will reach the compulsory retirement age of 65 on or before that date.

Staff in my Department have access to a personal Pension Service Statement (PSS) which facilitates estimation of pension entitlements, without reference to Human Resources Division, by way of the Civil Service Pensions Modeller.
