Leavers

There’s two different ways of letting us know if your employee is leaving the LGPS. They depend on their reason for leaving:

i-Connect

If your employee is leaving for any of the reasons below you can let us know through i-Connect.

For all the reasons above your employee’s pension will be treated as deferred once they’ve left as long as they’ve been paying into the LGPS for at least 2 years.

Forms

If your employee is leaving for any of the reasons below, please fill in our retirements form.

If an employee dies whilst still paying into the LGPS you need to fill in a death form. You should also email or call us as soon as you find out about their death. We’ll need the member’s:

  • name
  • National Insurance number
  • date of death
  • next of kin name, address, and phone number/email address, if known.

Employer tasks

For all the reasons above, you must complete these tasks before we can process their pension:

There may also be capital costs that you need to pay. You can use i-Connect to estimate these costs.

You should take special care if your leaver has another job or is starting a new job with you.

You can find more information on what the member and employer need to do for the different retirement types on the retirement page.
