We have been looking at our process when requesting the annual rate at cessation (ARAC) from employers. As a result, we will no longer routinely request this information where it has already been provided or it is already held on the member’s record.
We will still need to request the ARAC from you when:
- we do not hold this information either on the AW8 or members’ record
- a revised award is due to change in the LDOS
- there has been a revision due to a pay award which may affect the ARAC and the revised TPP is greater than 5%. If the revised TPP is less than 5% we will use the original ARAC
This will reduce the number of requests we send to you for this type of information.
