Hi All - I joined the HSE in 2005 and have almost 17 years service (albeit not all of it is full time) - I am considering leaving the HSE for a job in the private sector (which does not offer an employer contribution to pension) and have a query relation to my pension. I have contacted superannuation and HR in the HSE but they have said it will be some time before they can address my query. My understand is that if I leave my superannuation benefits are preserved to retirement age. However, my query is that of I return to the HSE or other public sector employment in the future and am part of the single scheme, am my previous benefits still preserved and would I, in effect, have 2 separate pensions - obviously the Pre 2013 scheme offers more preferential benefits that the single scheme so ideally I want to make a decision based on the facts.
Regards
Lou
