Guide for Employers Participating in the LGPS

When an employer participates in the Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS) it comes with potentially significant financial commitments, administrative responsibilities and regulatory requirements including:

• Making regular contributions, making payment of employees’ contributions and making additional contributions if your section of the scheme is in deficit
• Facilitating communications with scheme members
• Setting up administrative processes for making payment
• Providing accurate data to the scheme when requested.

This is a best practice guide to help you to understand and fulfil these obligations,
