Nissan


Because they save on pension long term and also save on tax and percentages in future years.
I still don't get it. Not saying you are wrong but any company in such a mess would look to reduce costs, improve cash flow and shore up their balance sheet. Giving away lumps of cash and committing to higher future costings ( pensions) would negate these.

By giving a lump sum that’s a 1 off payment. If you give someone a percentage or non consolidated amount, then that’s a yearly cost for salary and for pension.
 
You’d think the unions would be pushing for a modest increase/ or a lumper with no job losses and a promise to look at terms when conditions improve. It’s pretty obvious nissan are in the shit atm with terrible worldwide figures, so the main objective should be to retain jobs in the uk, rather than try and bend the company over for pay rises that may mean staff losses in the uk to pay for them.

The lump sum is likely non-con (not pensionable).

In their budgets they would have factored in a x% increase for staff. By simply making it say a £3k lump sum and non-con across the board, it means higher paid staff will be getting less then they budgeted for and the ER saves on pension contributions for all staff.

The money saved won’t be huge mind

Nissan isn't unionised.

I agree with that about the £3k lumper but the poster mentioned 3% pay rise .
I still can’t see them offering anything if reports of their account still are true
Hope I’m wrong as it would be a huge blow to the area.
