Public sector workers pension bonus
Millions of public sector workers could get bigger state pensions than the rest of the nation under new plans been drawn up by the Government. Under the proposals, which could cost the taxpayer £3bn a year, workers on final salary pension schemes will be allowed to build up extra pension rights worth £180 a week. According to the Sunday Times, the extra rights could mean a public sector worker on a final salary pension receives £2000 a year more in state pension than the average person.
