Is the number a cumulative career total (I've been in a few final salary schemes and never seen that before on a payslip) or is it just how much they've put in this month? (don't think I've seen that on a payslip either).
If it's a cumulative total not just a comparison with the deduction which is the employee's own contribution, it surely implies some line may have been crossed. Very few employers have admitted that pensions contributions are historically a contracted part of the employee remuneration package. If it is shown on a payslip it surely is tantamount to admitting it is an integral part of the employment contract?
But the quid pro quo for the employer is surely as
