John has a DB pension with his employer and has 27 years service. Employer currently contributes 20% salary to the DB scheme.
Employer now shutting down DB scheme and employees are moving to DC scheme. The benefits to date in DB scheme remain.
John must now take the risk for the next 13 years, rather than the employer.
Employer is prepared to continue with 20% contribution to DC.
Should John get something extra from employer for removing this risk from employer and shouldering it himself?
If so, what?
