Dear Members,
The NCOA first raised the matter of pensionable payments for premium overtime in January 2024. Whilst corrective contributions have been taken since last summer, the
situation regarding backdating of retrospective payments remained unresolved.
As a result of the on-going delays to make good on historical contributions, on the 22nd January 2025, the NCOA escalated this matter to Stage 3 of the NCA/ Trade Union
Dispute Resolution Process which resulted in a formal meeting with NCA Executive Leadership. The recent announcement on backdated contributions will have a positive
impact for many Civil Service Pension Scheme members and is a result of the efforts of the NCOA to challenge the NCA on this matter.
The NCOA will now work with the NCA to achieve a fair and timely solution for the collection of outstanding contributions, the vast majority of which will be made by your
employer.
Regards,
Steve Bond
NCOA General Secretary.
