Multiple employments

If you are already paying into the LGPS and you get another job where your employer offers you membership of the scheme, you can be a member of the LGPS in all positions, provided you are eligible to join.

You build up separate pension accounts and receive separate retirement packages. Separate Annual Benefit Illustrations for each job are sent to your home address every year.

If you leave one of the jobs before leaving the other(s), your pension accounts are aggregated. We provide details to you at the time.

Pension rights built up as a Councillor or Mayor in England or Wales cannot be joined with rights built up as an employee in England and Wales and vice versa.
