SERPS
Part of an employee's National Insurance contributions goes into SERPS (State Earnings-Related Pension Scheme), which is paid on top of the Basic State Pension on retirement. The SERPS pension, payable when you reach State pension age, depends on your earnings while you were in employment and the National Insurance contributions paid. SERPS is paid in addition to the Basic State Pension. This was replaced by the State Second Pension in April 2002.
