Overview

The LGPS is available to eligible employees of:

• local government employers
• private companies providing services on behalf of a local government employer
• some charities providing a public service.

These employers are split into 3 categories:

• Scheduled bodies – must enrol all eligible employees into the LGPS.
• Resolution or designating bodies – can choose which employees are eligible to join the LGPS.
• Admission bodies – can only enrol employees into the LGPS if the employer has been admitted to the LGPS by signing up to an admission agreement.

The following pages provide more information on the types of employers that can offer the LGPS and the process for joining the Fund.
