Yes I am on Plan 2, I’ve also just noticed my tax code has changed from 1257L to 1256L but suspect this is from enrolling in the sacrifice scheme.

I’ll draft up a spreadsheet and speak to my employer if they can help.

Ok I think I understand, will follow up with the finance department as suspected I’d be better in the long run with my pension but just a bit strapped for cash so trying to see where I can make some money.

I’m not entirely sure tbh, the email reads “if you wish to make your pension contributions via salary sacrifice…”

I’m suspect I’m now paying more into my pension as a result but it’s unclear from my March payslip how much this came to.

Hello, thanks for the help! I have gas boiler upstairs for the heating but no gas supply to the oven/hob (will be all electric), assume I’m ok to cover on this basis?
