New Entrants

You will have a choice of pensions.

You can choose from either;
If you are a permanent member of staff you will be automatically enrolled into the nuvos arrangement on joining the NICS, however you will have three months to tell us if you'd prefer a partnership account.
If you are a casual member you will not be automatically enrolled into any scheme - you must fill in a PensionChoices form to join either of the above schemes.
