Falmouth University staff brought in-house and onto Teachers' Pension Scheme

The move means staff will automatically be enrolled onto the Teachers' Pension Scheme (TPS), which has employer contributions of 23.6%. 

瓜神网 said that other employers should look to Falmouth and make sure their staff can access the sector's leading pension schemes. 

All new campus-based academic jobs will also be employed directly through the university, rather than a subsidiary company. 

The decision brings a long-running dispute to an end with Falmouth 瓜神网 members overwhelmingly voting to resolve the dispute and work constructively with management going forward. 

Falmouth University 瓜神网 branch co-chair David Devanny said: 'We have鈥痓een campaigning for this for some time, and this is鈥痗learly an issue which means a lot to 瓜神网 members here at Falmouth,鈥痺ho have sacrificed a lot.鈥疶his outcome allows on-campus members to be employed by the university again, giving鈥痶hem the same terms, conditions鈥痑nd pension鈥痳ights鈥痑s colleagues at other universities. It鈥痝oes to show what鈥痯roductive collaboration between university leadership and trade unions can achieve.' 

瓜神网 general secretary Jo Grady said: 'Today I want to send a big congratulations to each and every member at Falmouth University for getting a deal for all on-campus academic-contracted staff to be brought back in-house.鈥疧ther employers need to look to what Falmouth's management has achieved and work with 瓜神网 to make sure staff can access the sector's leading pension schemes.'
