Membership of the Strathclyde Pension Fund is limited to the employees (and former employees) of certain organisations, mostly within the former Strathclyde area.
A scheme employer must participate in the scheme.
Also, certain employers can negotiate to join the scheme with Glasgow City Council. These are called admitted bodies. The conditions for joining are outlined in the Admissions Policy (2008).
A full listing of our contributing employers is provided on pages 38 and 39 of our Annual Report and Accounts for the year to 31st March 2008.
Leaving the scheme
If your organisation decides to leave the scheme - a “cessation of admitted body” - your employees remain deferred members and will still be expecting a pension from us.
Because of this, all your current and future liabilities will need to be paid off, together with other rates and adjustments to the Fund.
The Fund’s actuaries will need to calculate how much this will be, and you will be invoiced for it. This could be a substantial amount, and it’s payable in one lump sum, so assess your options very carefully.
You must contact us if you wish to leave the scheme.
Document downloads
Documents available to download are in PDF format. You’ll need a piece of reader software which is probably already installed on your computer.
If you don’t have this software, you can download it for free from the Adobe Web site.
