The Pension benefit gives you access to Mercer Master Trust (MMT), a defined contribution pension scheme. This means all your pension contributions, including those paid on your behalf by the Company, are paid into your own pension account and are invested in your chosen investments. If you contribute to your pension, the Company will also contribute.

If you’ve been with the Company for a while, you could be a member of one of our legacy pension schemes, such as the Atkins Pension Plan or the Railways Pension Scheme. These schemes are closed to new joiners.

MMT – AtkinsRéalis 

MMT – AtkinsRéalis

This is a defined contribution (DC) pension arrangement with administration provided by Scottish Widows.  Employees are contractually enrolled into the pension plan on a salary exchange basis. The default contribution rate is 3% with a matching company contribution of 6%. The company offer a double matching arrangement up to 10% of your salary, when you pay 5%. You are able to update your contributions at any time via YourReward. These contributions are then invested in your chosen investment option.

Under salary exchange your salary is reduced by the amount of your contributions and the Company pays the total contribution into your own pension account, saving you some national insurance contributions. 

The MMT Trustee Board is responsible for this pension scheme, but the day-to-day administration is carried out by the pension administration team at Scottish Widows. If you have any questions about your membership, or would like to transfer former pension policies into the MMT, contact this team.
