We understand that the current situation around COVID-19 continues to cause significant concern and uncertainty. We want to reassure you that we have taken, and continue to take, a number of proactive steps to ensure we support you during these difficult times. Our ongoing efforts will ensure that we will be able to continue to deliver the pensions payroll as normal.
To support us in providing services it is necessary to adapt some of our processes to assist you and us during this period. Please can we ask that you do not send any hard copy documents to the office at Worrall House as there is no-one there to receive them as all our staff are working remotely. Please scan your documents or take a photo and email them to us at pensions.payroll@cantium.solutions
