If I go part time how is my pension affected? 

We calculate all benefits based on full time equivalent pensionable salary and pensionable service, so for example if you work 50% of full time hours, 1 year will count as 6 months towards your pensionable service, but your pensionable salary will be doubled to the full time equivalent, this way there is not impact to how your pension builds up if you change your contractual working hours.  Our helpsheet on the Fund website contains examples of how this works.
