The Catering Industry Pension Fund (CIPF) was established on 1st April, 1968 as a self-administered Pension Fund through a Collective Bargaining Agreement. While CIPF was initially set up for NEC members only, it is now open to all employees in the Catering and Hospitality Industry.
The objective of the Fund is to provide pension benefits for members when they leave employment through retirement, retrenchment, ill health, death as well as resignation or dismissal. The rules of the Fund were redrafted and reregistered in July 2020 in compliance with the Pension and Provident Funds Act.
The day to day administration of the Fund is run by the secretariat which reports to the Board of Trustees.
