The LGA are redesigning this website and we are inviting expressions of interest from real users who would be willing to support the development process.

We're particularly keen to involve people who use the sites in different ways - whether you're accessing them as an administrator, employer, technical and communication team- and from a variety of user perspectives. We welcome input from both individuals and groups.

If you're willing to be involved, please complete this short form to register your interest.

There is no commitment at this stage. Completing the form simply means you're happy to be contacted about opportunities to support the development of the new websites.

Your input will be invaluable in helping us deliver improved, accessible and user-friendly LGPS regulations websites.

LGPS employer bite-size training


Ill health retirement for active members

This course covers the ill health retirement process for active members. It covers the criteria, the decision making process and the benefits payable.


Ill health retirement for deferred members

This course covers the ill health retirement process for deferred members. A deferred member is someone who leaves the LGPS before retirement and who qualifies for benefits in the Scheme.


Assumed pensionable pay (APP)

This course covers the use and calculation of Assumed Pensionable Pay (APP). APP is a notional pay figure calculated by employers and reported to the administering authority when an employee's pay is reduced because they are absent from work. This notional pay figure is used to make sure an employee's pension builds up as if they were at work receiving their normal pay.


Final pay

This course covers how to calculate final pay for members with final salary benefits. It also covers final pay protection where a member's pensionable pay is reduced or restricted in certain circumstances. Final salary benefits were generally built up before April 2014.
