Payment not showing in Scottish Widows AVC

[NWpostie]

While checking my CDC Scottish Widows AVC i noticed under Employer payment which usually shows my money paid in, its now £0, is this part of the changeover to a new provider ?

Will further payment be automatically transferred to them ?

I can't really comment on why your employer payment says £0, but AVC's via both the RM Pension Plan and the RM Collective Pension Plan are staying with Scottish Widows.

It's only the RM Defined Contribution Plan that's being moved to Legal & General.
So that will only apply to those who joined RM/the pension scheme, sometime between April 2008 and October 2024.

More details of that transfer can be found here:

I've just looked and mine is the same. I wonder if those totals reset for each financial year and seeing as the new financial year started on Monday that might be the case.

I'm not sure webinars scheduled for hours when most employees will be working serve much of a purpose

"RMDCP members will be encouraged to join the webinar and pose questions. Registration for the Webinars can be made via the microsite. The RMDCP Executive is also planning wider communications to engage with scheme members."

If it'll be the RMDCP giving the webinar could a message be sent to them to asking for late afternoon or evening webinars?
Alternatively, maybe a webinar recording will be available?

From the L&G link:

Please note the webinars will be recorded and available to watch afterward should you not be able to attend one of the live webinars.

If our AVCs has moved from Scottish Widows to L&G shouldn't we already have received our welcome pack ? Or is it going to be completely new AVC ?

No AVCs are being moved. What is moving is the Defined Contribution plan which is for people who started after April 2008 until when the new Collective Plan started in October 2024.
