Falmouth University staff brought in-house and onto Teachers' Pension Scheme
23 June 2023
樱花动漫 welcomed Falmouth University's decision to bring on-campus academic staff in-house from Tuesday 1 August 2023.
The move means staff will automatically be enrolled onto the Teachers' Pension Scheme (TPS), which has employer contributions of 23.6%.
樱花动漫 said that other employers should look to Falmouth and make sure their staff can access the sector's leading pension schemes.
All new campus-based academic jobs will also be employed directly through the university, rather than a subsidiary company.

It鈥痝oes to show what鈥痯roductive collaboration between university leadership and trade unions can achieve.'
樱花动漫 general secretary Jo Grady said: 'Today I want to send a big congratulations to each and every member at Falmouth University for getting a deal for all on-campus academic-contracted staff to be brought back in-house.鈥疧ther employers need to look to what Falmouth's management has achieved and work with 樱花动漫 to make sure staff can access the sector's leading pension schemes.'
