Introduction to Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS)

The contributions you make depend on how much you get paid.

Independent actuaries say scheme benefits are worth about 23% of your pay. Your employer and the government will top-up, if needed, to cover the total cost of your benefits.

Think carefully before giving-up scheme membership. If you find better pension options, tell your employer. If you are told that the alternatives are better, ask for confirmation in writing.
