Pensions
Teaching staff in FE colleges, including fixed term, temporary and zero hours staff directly employed by the college can join the Teachers' Pension Scheme. Agency workers between 22 and State Pension Age and earning over the “earnings threshold” of £10,000 should be ‘auto-enrolled’ into a workplace pension scheme provided by the agency.
