All public sector employees pay 100% of the actuarial cost of their pensions. It is part of the pay package. Imagine that people have bought into pension cost sharing. It all comes from the same pot. It is just one of many tricks of the pension industry  so they can get away with their many money transferring  schemes. Clever. Despicable. So public sector employees do not receive an amount equal to 16.2% of their salary. It goes to the pension fund so that salaries plus that pension cost plus benefits equals the pay package received by similar workers in the private sector.

All pensioners, private and public sector lose. So I assume that you are part of the industry.
