Ill-health
If you are off work due to ill-health and are continuing to receive your salary from the Bank or are receiving income benefits from the Bank’s Group Income Protection (GIP) scheme, the Bank’s contributions will continue on an unreduced basis based on your salary on the date on which your salary payments stopped and your GIP payments began.
Maternity
During your statutory maternity leave period, the Bank will continue to contribute to your Pension Account and your membership of the Scheme will continue.
If you are paying into your pension via salary sacrifice or paying Additional Voluntary Contributions, please contact your HR department.
Leave of absence/career break
If you are granted leave of absence from work, the Bank will consider whether your membership should be continued and for how long.
For any specific questions on your benefits, you should contact the Scheme administrator, Capita.
