Forms for University Departments
RET1(U) Word version- use this form to tell us in advance that a member is retiring. Colleges should use form RET1 (below).
Opting out (all employers)
New joiners of OSPS will be in Investment Builder, which is largely administered by Legal and General. Eligible employees have to be enrolled and they cannot opt out of this advance. There is no paper form they can complete to opt out from the start. Do NOT give them OPT1 as it is no longer valid.
If a new member wants to opt out of Investment Builder from the start they have to wait for their starter letter from Legal and General. They will have about one month from the date of the letter to log on and opt out online and get a refund.
OPT2DC (pdf) - Members can use this form to withdraw from Investment Builder after the above deadline. They will not get a refund. We will not accept this form to opt out from the start. Colleges should send this to us together with OPT3 (pdf).
OPT2 (pdf) - Members can use this form to opt out of the CARE section. If they do this they will NOT be able to rejoin the CARE section. Colleges should send this to us together with OPT3 (pdf).
The remaining forms are largely for use by colleges and other associated participating employers only. Please refer to the OSPS employer guide for help in using these forms.
