Community has produced new guidance on the Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS) aimed at staff who are approaching retirement age.
This covers all the key steps from submission of your leaver’s form, through confirmation of your last day of service, to receipt of your first pension payment.
This is just one of the many resources for members available on our online Advice Centre, including:
- understanding your contract;
- dealing with debt;
- redundancy and restructures;
- parental leave; and
- sector-specific guidance for education and early years across the UK.
The new resource is available here (members only).
If you are a member of Community and need help or advice, please contact us at help@community-tu.org or on 0800 389 6332.
