Joining the Local Government Pension Scheme

New employees automatically become members of the Local Government Pension Scheme unless they are employed on a casual basis or do not have a contract of more than 3 months' duration. It is important that new employees NOT wishing to join the scheme  fill in a form| (PDF document opens in new window) and return it to Pensions Administration as soon as possible.  This form| (PDF document opens in new window) can also be used by employees who are already employed but have not yet entered the scheme and now wish to join. If you are employed on a casual basis or if you do not have a contract of more than 3 months' duration, then you will not be able to join the scheme.
