 | The various public sector pension schemes are nationally imposed schemes and not at the discretion of individual councils. However, in line with private sector pension schemes the cost of public sector schemes have been reviewed in light of the question of affordability, and new rules relating to the Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS) that affects the majority of our office employees were introduced on 1 April 2008.
Unlike some pension schemes, all of the schemes in operation at the County Council require the employee to contribute into the scheme. The pension is part of the overall remuneration package. Historically, public sector pay has not matched that of the private sector. However, the pension has generally been better.
