It sounds logical, but in practical terms, the transfer of your previous pension to the scheme of your new employer will limit your Retirement from that Fund until you retire from the new Employment.

Best advice is to keep each Occupational Pensions separate as this may allow you to take Early Retirement Options and Tax-free cash extractions from previous pensions. E.G. If you are more than 50 years of age, and have left the employment of a previous scheme, you may well be able to transfer your previous pension to a Personal Retirement Bond and Retire early from it while you continue to work with your current Employer. Tax-free lump sum of 25% of Personal Retirement Bond values are permitted by Revenue once you’re more than 50 years of age.

Redundancy plans are generally published in advance by Employers. A redundancy scheme will typically offer a worker a number of levels of compensation for loss of their employment including:

  • Typically, a number of week payment per year of Employment i.e. Statutory Entitlements.
  • An Ex- Gratia payment from the Employer.
  • Access to a higher Tax-free lump sum by taking some Tax-free cash from the Pension of the Employee.

Redundancy calculations need to be considered very carefully as the highest offer termination payment available to the Employees may include:

  • A voluntary waiver of one’s Tax-free Pension entitlements.
  • Restriction on the Employee taking maximum Tax-free cash from their pension early. (Age 50).

In simple terms, what appears to be the larger value a termination payment or “Cheque payment” on the offer day may well not be best position for the Employee long term. It may limit Early Retirement Options from that Occupational Pension Fund as a result of accepting the higher Redundancy offer.

Our Advisor will illustrate the best short-term redundancy offer for you and the implications it may have on final Retirement. To enlist our help with calculation your optimum Redundancy position, please call the number below or request a free review.
