Response

The States of Jersey has two pension funds that are open to States employees: the Public Employees Contributory Retirement Scheme (PECRS) and the Jersey Teachers Superannuation Fund (JTSF).

PECRS provides pensions to former States employees including manual workers, nurses, firefighters, police officers and civil servants. 

The scheme had 4,268 pensioners at the end of 2014.

The JTSF provides pensions to former teachers and had 956 pensioners at the end of 2014. 

Both pension funds produce annual reports which outline the number of pensioners in receipt of a pension, the total pensions payable and the median pension paid.
