The guide to forms contains information on the forms you should have available and how to complete them. It is your responsibility as an employer to make sure you complete forms on time and accurately.
You may find it useful to download and read the complete guide to the Local Government Pension Scheme. Although written for scheme members, it describes the way the pension works and will help you explain the benefits to your employees.
It may also be worth familiarising yourself with our policy documents. These include our admissions policy, which details which employers are allowed to join the scheme, and the LGPS regulations, which are the rules central government have set for the way the LGPS works.
