Introduction

The LGPS is a complicated pension scheme. This part of the website includes useful information for employers about their responsibilities and duties as LGPS Scheme employers.

This guidance should build on information that each pension fund or administering authority provides to its employers. It does not replace any requirements and processes put in place by the relevant LGPS administering authority.
