Are the terms and level of retirement benefits uniform for all employees?
If individual (insured) retirement savings policies (known as “Manager” policies) are implemented, then: - What portion of each premium is allocated to retirement savings? - Are the terms of life and disability cover competitive? - To what extent is “full” disability covered? - To what extent is “partial” disability covered? - Would the introduction of group disability or life cover reduce costs or enhance benefits? - Do policies differ significantly between employees?
If multi-employer (funded) pension funds are implemented, then: - to what extent are staff exposed to underfunding? - how is salary above the pension fund salary ceiling covered?
If individual bank provident funds are utilized, then: - how is salary above the tax ceiling covered?
Is an overall salary cut-off ceiling applied? Is allocation between capital and annuity plans tax efficient? Is funding for termination indemnities integrated? |
