It's typical Federation behaviour.

I like the idea of reduced hours or days but not the reduced income and pension savings. Or the impact IF I was made redundant. I am kind of thinking I will stick to full time to maximise what I have unless I feel I can’t take it any more. Very jealous though of Greg and also eLBees possibility if agreed. |

I would love to be able to do more full day/long weekend things with eL Bee!. The 4 hour shifts every weekday appear to be the worst of all worlds for him because he still ends up wiped out by them.

Yes, that would be annoying and would be better to do say hours in fewer days

Nice one Greppers! Shame they can't sort elBee! out, isn't that called bullying in the workplace? They were trying to stamp that out in my day. |

Perhaps someone on ehere can answer this question for me, please. I have two pension plans with Scottish Widows (originally vial Lloyds Bank) The main one has a lot more in it than the top up one started much later. When I contacted SW about taking my 25% tax free the chap I spoke to only dealt with the original 'old' (main) one. He said he'd get a specialist to ring me back about taking from both. That was nearly a fortnight ago and no phone call. My question is: if I take the 25% from Plan 1, would I still be able to take 25% tax free from the much smaller Plan B at a later date? It seems too complicated and hardly worth it to combine them first. |

The way I understand it is that you take 25% tax free out of each pot. Mine transpires to be 3 pots, not one, and in it's overview sent to me 6 months before retirement, it says 25% behind each one. So yes. |
