28.7 Multi-employer plans and state plans
28.7.1 Extract from FRS102: Section 28.11-28.12
28.11 Multi-employer plans and state plans are classified as defined contribution plans or defined benefit plans on the basis of the terms of the plan, including any constructive obligation that goes beyond the formal terms. However, if sufficient information is not available to use defined benefit accounting for a multi-employer plan that is a defined benefit plan, an entity shall account for the plan in accordance with paragraphs 28.13 and 28.13A as if it was a defined contribution plan and make the disclosures required by paragraphs 28.40 and 28.40A. An entity shall account for a state plan in the same way as for a multi-employer plan. 28.11A Where an entity participates in a defined benefit plan, which is a multi-employer plan that in accordance with paragraph 28.11 is accounted for as if the plan were a defined contribution plan, and the entity has entered into an agreement with the multi-employer plan that determines how the entity will fund a deficit, the entity shall recognise a liability for the contributions payable that arise from the agreement (to the extent that they relate to the deficit) and the resulting expense in profit or loss in accordance with paragraphs 28.13 and 28.13A. Insured benefits 28.12 An entity may pay insurance premiums to fund a post-employment benefit plan. The entity shall treat such a plan as a defined contribution plan unless the entity has a legal or constructive obligation either:
(a) to pay the employee benefits directly when they become due; or
(b) to pay further amounts if the insurer does not pay all future employee benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods.
A constructive obligation could arise indirectly through the plan, through the mechanism for setting future premiums, or through a related party relationship with the insurer. If the entity retains such a legal or constructive obligation, the entity shall treat the plan as a defined benefit plan.
28.7.2 OmniPro comment
28.7.2.1 Multi-Employer plans – defined.
Multi-employer plans other than a state plan is defined in Appendix I of FRS 102 as ‘defined contribution or defined benefit plans that:
- Pool assets contributed by various entities that are not under common control; and
- Use those assets to provide benefit to employees of more than one entity, on the basis that contribution and benefit levels are determined without regard to the identity of the entity that employs the employees’.
28.7.2.2 Sate plan defined
A State plan as defined by Appendix I of FRS 102 ‘as an employee benefit plan established by legislation to cover all entities (or all other entities in a particular category, for example a specific industry) and operated by national and local government or another body (for example, an autonomous agency created specifically for this purpose (which is not subject to control or influence by the reporting entity’).
28.7.2.3 The default pension when entity’s portion of the pension assets/ liabilities cannot be determined.
Where the entity’s allocation of the pension schemes assets and liabilities cannot be determined, the entity can account for the scheme as a defined contribution scheme as per Section 28.11 of FRS 102. As a result, contributions to the scheme are expensed as incurred/earned as detailed at 28.6.2.3. . However as detailed in Section 28.11A FRS 102 where an entity has committed to funding the pension scheme deficit an accrual should be created (and an expense recognised) for the amount committed at that time.
28.7.2.3.1 Entity’s portion of the pension assets/liabilities can subsequently be determined
Where previously an entity has treated a multi-employer pension scheme as a defined contribution scheme and subsequently enough data becomes available to allow defined benefit accounting to be performed, Section 28 does not state how these assets and liabilities should be brought on to the balance sheet. There are two ways in which this can be done:
- recognise an immediate charge/credit to the profit and loss for the entity’s portion of the deficit/surplus; or
- recognise a prior year adjustment for a change in accounting policy.
Both methods are acceptable – so the entity should make a choice
28.7.2.4 Insured benefits
As stated in Section 28.12 of FRS 102 Where under the agreement the insurers can request the employer to contribute benefits directly when they fall due or the employer is required to pay if the insurer does not pay then the pension should be accounted for as a defined benefit plan, with the insurance policies shown as a plan asset. If not they can be accounted for as a defined contribution scheme as the insurer bears the investment and actuary risk.
