What happens if I take another job? Don't I need to give my P45 to my new employer?

You must inform us immediately if you become re-employed by another employer participating in the LGPS, whether you rejoin the LGPS or not.

If you retired through redundancy or in the interest of the efficiency of the service:

your benefits could become unauthorised payments with associated tax charges at up to 55%
any extra years' service added to your pension may be reduced if you return to work in local government.

You can re-join the LGPS and build up a new period of membership and benefits.

If your new employer is outside local government, your pension will not be affected.

You should ask your new employer to forward a P46 to HM Revenue and Customs for you.
