We’re pleased to introduce a new partner pension scheme, which came into effect from 1 October 2025.
The new partner pension scheme is part of the new partner services agreement (PSA).
All partners (with the exception of legal assessors), who meet the eligibility criteria below, will be automatically enrolled into the new partner pension scheme, from 1 October 2025.
Eligibility criteria:
- You are between 22 years of age and the state pension age.
- You earn more than £833 in any one month, through the fees paid to you by the HCPC for providing services in your role as a partner.
- You are a UK resident and you usually work in the UK.
Automatic enrolment, or auto-enrolment, simply means we will set up a pension for you without you needing to ask to join when meeting the eligibility criteria.
As part of this pension scheme, you will be required to make a 5% contribution, and this will automatically be deducted from the fees you are paid by the HCPC.
The HCPC will pay a 3% contribution directly into the scheme. You may opt out of the scheme at any time.
Don’t meet the eligibility criteria? You can opt-in to the scheme at any point
We want all partners to be able to benefit from our new pension scheme, which is why we are offering those who don’t meet the eligibility criteria, to opt-in. Please complete the pension opt-in form below and send it to partners@hcpc-uk.org.
