1 Final salary member (classic, classic plus or premium) who has transitioned to alpha. The final salary pension of a person in employment is calculated by reference to their pay and length of service. The pension will increase from one year to the next by virtue of any pay rise during the year. Where there is no or a small pay rise, the increase in pension due to extra service may not be sufficient to offset the inflation increase – that is, in real terms, the pension value can reduce, hence the negative values.
2Taking account of inflation, the Cash Equivalent Transfer Values funded by the employer has decreased in real terms.
