Pearson Pension Plan | Pay Less, Save More

Are you missing out on pension contributions through not joining the main Pearson pension plan? If you have not actively opted in to the Money Purchase 2003 (MP03) Section, you may have been auto-enrolled into the AE Section as required by UK law. Under the MP03 Section, Pearson will pay double the amount you pay every month. So, the more you pay, the more Pearson pays and the more you save towards your retirement.

Details about each section of the Pension Plan can be found on the Pension website. And, when you’re ready to enrol in the MP03 Section, visit the Pearson Benefits portal.

For Your Life

World Suicide Prevention Day | #WSPD

World Suicide Prevention Day is 10 September 2024. This day of awareness was established in 2003 by the International Association for Suicide Prevention (IASP) in conjunction with the World Health Organization (WHO). This year’s IASP’s theme “Changing the Narrative on Suicide,” focuses on reshaping how we discuss and perceive suicide with a call to action to start the conversation. It’s about moving from silence and stigma to fostering a culture of openness and support.

If you or someone you know is in crisis and has thoughts of suicide, help is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

  • Call Emergency services at 999; or
  • Call the NHS helpline at 111; or
  • Call Samaritans for free at 116 123; or
  • Call the Employee Assistance Programme toll-free: 0800 243 458
