Background information
The Company’s consultation on the Royal Mail Defined Contribution Plan (RMDCP) ended on 2 May 2014 and the Company made its decision on the changes.
Details of the changes are set out in the Decision letter.
Building up a pension is a key way of saving for your retirement, and the Company is keen to support you in doing that. Although the pension that you ultimately receive from the RMDCP will depend on a number of factors, a major one is the amount contributed by both you and the Company. The Company hopes that its decision will encourage members of the Plan to save more and to make adequate provision for retirement.
