July
2007: The company is claiming
a £65m pensions deficit, and has told staff that to keep their current
final salary pension scheme they must increase their contributions from
six per cent to ten per cent over the next four years - which could cost
someone on £20,000 an extra £40 per month.
Under this option Newsquest would also increase its contribution from six per cent to 12 per cent - a figure the NUJ says is far below what other comparable employers in the sector contribute. Apart from increasing their contributions to keep the final salary scheme, the options available include paying in less for an inferior version, changing to a money purchase - or defined contribution - scheme, or opting out altogether. |

Company is still trading. The
company had no legal obligation to top up the fund as it had put in the
minimum required.
A group of former employees is now putting pressure on the company to make good the shortfall. |
