We’ll be running member-focused webinars in June. They’ll be led by an RPS expert, and they’ll help you get to know your pension better.
A webinar is a live, virtual, educational session hosted by a person or a number of people during which participating viewers can submit questions and comments.
Whether you’re new to the Scheme or you’ve been a member for quite some time, it pays to get to know your pension better so you can plan ahead with confidence.
Our ‘Get to know your RPS pension’ webinars can help you understand the fundamentals of the Railways Pension Scheme (RPS), and the range of valuable benefits to saving for the future with the RPS.
The webinars will also cover:
Who contributes to your pension and how
Topping up your pension and tax limits
The options for taking your pension
They will take place on Tuesday, 3 June and Wednesday, 4 June via Microsoft Teams.
We’ll be running separate ‘Get to know your RPS pension’ webinars for:
Members of TOC Sections on 3 June
Members of Non-TOC Sections on 3 June
Members of the Network Rail Section on 3 June
Members of the IWDC Section on 4 June
To get booked onto either of the webinars:
