Welcome to the Retired States Employees’ Association

The Association’s object is to safeguard the rights of its members and to promote measures for their welfare with particular regard to pensions.  Our members have worked in schools and hospitals, in the emergency services and law enforcement, at the harbours and airport, for States Works, or in many other technical, policy, professional and administrative roles in the various States Departments, Committees and trading bodies.  As the current Chair, I am well aware of long-standing concerns that the Association has previously had only extremely limited opportunity to communicate directly with members and I am confident that the website will be a significant improvement.  The Committee, http://www.rsea.org.gg, will be able to keep you informed, in particular, about the Public Servants’ Pension Scheme  and the likely effects of any changes in the Rules.  As the website develops, we plan to provide information on other subjects such as States’ policies on pensions and benefits generally, as well as on broader issues of interest to those who have retired from public service.  The Committee welcomes your ideas for topics or links that could be included.

The RSEA first came about in 1994 to provide representation for former States’ employees when dealing with matters affecting their occupational pensions.  Your Committee believes that it still remains essential to work closely with other staff organisations and the States on your behalf to maintain that representation.

Whilst the Committee will do what it can to keep in touch with RSEA members individually by email or through the website and, where practicable, to seek your views and ideas, we have only a partial record of our membership.  With your support, the RSEA can raise its profile and make its voice heard.  As a PSPS pensioner, you are automatically a member of the RSEA but we might not have received your contact details.  If you think that we do already not hold your details, or even if we might, but you are not sure, please send a brief note of your name, address, telephone number and email address to our Secretary at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..  At present, although paying the annual subscription of £3.00 is voluntary, the Committee would be most grateful if you would consider this option.  Further details can be found here, or you can contact our Treasurer at This email address is being protected from spambots.
