Why is the Pensionable Service on my statement less than the time I have been a member of the Fund?

We calculate your benefits based on the full time equivalent, so if you have ever worked part time while a member of the Fund the pensionable service shown is the full time equivalent, the pensionable salary shown will also be the full time equivalent.

You can find further information here.

If you chose to cease contributing to the Fund, your pensionable service is based on the period you paid contributions to the Fund.
