For nearly a decade, some staff at South Lanarkshire College have had excessive pension payments deducted from their wages - all because the college didn't properly update their systems, and then managed to not notice all this time.
EXCLUSIVE for @heraldscotland
A 'systemic error' by a Scottish college means part-time staff may have made incorrect pension contributions since 2015.

On Wednesday, June 12th, the EIS FELA Branch at South Lanarkshire College overwhelmingly voted in favour of a Vote of No Confidence in our current Principal, responding to the intention to deem as well as a lack of progress around issues regarding pensions deductions. 1/2
So staff at South Lanarkshire College are being deemed 100% of their wage for not resulting. Something that maybe takes 2% of your yr. Thoughts anyone? @theSNP@EISFela@EISFELA_SLC
I worked in colleges for nearly a decade and now I write about Scottish education. I say the same thing over and over: for the people who run Scotland, colleges are for other people's children.

Finally a board of a Scottish college with cajones - another vote of no confidence in the principal of a Scot college… they’re stacking up… @NCL_EIS_FELA @CogcEis @EIS_SLC @GraemeDeyMSP @JohnSwinney @MrMcEnaney https://t.co/0GmjWzIij4
Andrea Bradley spoke to striking lecturers at Glasgow Clyde College today, bringing the full and unequivocal solidarity of the EIS main body #FightingforFE
Funny how they always justify it by talking about attracting the right kind of applicant (pure fantasy). The reality? Well, we all know the reality: a managerial class dangerously out of touch with the service providers @HumzaYousaf@theSNP This is where to make savings!
Organisations like @CollEmployScot should have been using their voice in defence of FE. Instead they decided to pick a fight with @EISFela & @unisonscot College bosses have never accepted national bargaining & have repeatedly tried to undermine it
Please join us next week outside the Scottish parliament in Edinburgh for a rally as we continue the pursuit for fair pay in FE.
Lecturers have not been given a pay rise since 2021, fair pay for lecturers is well overdue.
The clock is ticking...Fund FE Now!
