Pension
The Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS) covers Council employees and some Councillors. The LGPS is a contributory scheme; employees contribute 5.5%-7.5% of their own salaries to the scheme. Employer's contributions to the LGPS vary depending upon how much is needed to ensure benefits under the Scheme are properly funded, and are set independently. The rules governing the pension scheme are contained in regulations made by Parliament. More information about the scheme can be found in Related Content.
