Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS) – Changes to Contribution Pay Bands

From the 1 April 2015 the LGPS pensionable pay ranges rise in line with the cost of living to take into account inflationary increases, and to avoid members possibly moving up a band as a result of annual pay awards. The Pay Bands have therefore been increased in line with the September’s Consumer Price Index Rate of 1.2%.

If you are a member of LGPS you do not need to do anything, the rate that you pay will be determined by Human Resources, however, if you would like to view the Pension Pay ranges from 1 April or indeed any other information on LGPS please visit the Pension pages.
