Contributory Pension Scheme
What is Pension?
A pension is a retirement fund for an employee paid into an employee's Retirement Savings Account (RSA) by the employer (who pays 10%) and the employee (who pays 8% of his/her gross salary). When such an employee has reached a certain age or based on a health condition cannot cater for his/her needs in old age, an annuity is paid to the employee which is calculated by the terms of the pension.
