Contribution Option Form

If you need any help completing this form please call 0115 959 1670 (internal 72 16 70).

This form is not required if you wish to remain in the Auto-Enrolment Section (AE Section).

My details:

Contributions:

  • Until further notice, I wish to take the following action in relation to my payments to the Plan.

    (Please complete ONE box only)

    IMPORTANT
    If you are a Band A employee who selects either 3% or 4%, you will be in the Base Section. This means you could be automatically enrolled into the AE Section in the future. The AE Section does not provide life cover. Please read the factsheet here to fully understand the implications. If you’re not sure what Band you’re in, you can ask your line manager.

    IMPORTANT
    If you select either 5%, 6% or more, you will be in the Standard Section. Please read the factsheet here to fully understand the implications. If you’re not sure what Band you’re in, you can ask your line manager.

Please note this form must be completed and submitted by the 5th of the month that you wish the contribution change to be made. This is due to payroll processing dates. If it is received after the 5th, your request will be processed at the next available payment date.

NOTES

  • I understand that by participating in SMART (in relation to employee contributions), I am agreeing to a change in my terms and conditions of employment. If after considering the benefits of SMART, I decide it is not right for me, I will contact brsp@boots.co.uk requesting that my contributions are not taken via SMART.
  • I understand there are instances when SMART may not provide a financial benefit so participation may not be appropriate. I understand if my earnings fall below the Pay Protection Limit or National Minimum Wage after my SMART adjustment, my contribution will be taken after tax and national insurance has been applied. Basic tax relief will be applied by Legal & General.
  • I understand that my employer will make contributions to the Plan at the ratio applicable to my Band. I understand and accept that in order to maintain the market competitiveness of the Plan, my employer reserves the right at its sole discretion to vary at any time the Band that applies to my grade/job role; the level of employee and/or employer contributions; and/or the level of life assurance benefits provided under the Plan. Appropriate notice will be given of such a change.
  • I confirm that I know which Band applies to my grade/job role and I furthermore confirm that, if I am a Band A employee, I understand the implications of selecting a 3% or 4% contribution rate and that I have read the relevant factsheet.
  • I understand that my membership of the AE Section will cease upon submitting my request (if applicable).
  • I authorise my employer to facilitate my membership of the Plan and to pass on any information about me which might reasonably be required to companies within WBA’s UK employing entities, L&G, payroll and life cover provider.
  • I understand that I may be eligible for life cover whilst I remain in the Base Section or the Standard Section. I have read the relevant factsheet.
  • I have read the data protection statement below.

Please confirm your details before submitting this form.
