Which document governs membership terms, contributions, and benefits of an employer pension scheme?

• A. Scheme rules
• B. Constitution
• C. Deed of appointment
• D. Deed of assignment

Answer: (A)

The scheme rules govern membership terms, contributions, and benefits. These rules lay out who can join the pension plan, how much is contributed by both employer and employee, how benefits are calculated and paid, retirement and transfer provisions, and what happens if you leave or die. The constitution typically covers broader governance of an organization, not the specifics of a pension arrangement. A deed of appointment is about appointing someone to a role (such as trustee or administrator), and a deed of assignment transfers rights or interests, not the core terms of membership or benefits within the pension scheme.
