At present, there are a number of Superannuation Schemes in operation for staff members of Tipperary ETB, namely:

The Education and Training Boards Teachers Superannuation Scheme (for teachers employed by Tipperary ETB);
The Education Sector Superannuation Scheme (for all other staff employed by Tipperary ETB);
The Single Public Service Pension Scheme (SPSPS) for all pensionable first-time entrants to the public service, including former public servants returning to the public service after a break of more than 26 weeks.

The Education and Training Board Teachers and the Education Sector pension schemes are defined benefit schemes i.e. final salary defined benefit schemes which give a pension based on service and final pensionable remuneration (salary).

The Single Public Service Pension Scheme is a defined benefit, career average Scheme. Career average earnings are used to calculate benefits (a pension and lump sum amount accrue each year and are up-rated each year by reference to CPI).
