“Understanding" workshops
Circular 287 has been issued to advise
administering authorities and employers of a number of workshops to be run at
various locations. The events have been organised by the Local Government
Pension Committee. One workshop being
run covers ‘The Employer Role’. This workshop has been run before but there
are significant updates for 2015 since the introduction of the new
LGPS on 1 April 2014.
Intended Audience for ‘The Employer Role’
These
workshops are aimed primarily at staff working for scheme employers in England
and Wales who have operational responsibilities under the Local Government
Pension Scheme (LGPS). You don't necessarily need a thorough working knowledge
of the LGPS itself but some experience of the scheme and its provisions would
be useful.
Please
refer to the
circular
for details of cost and how to book places.
New Forms and Procedure Guide launched 2 January 2015
If you attended the recent PLOG meetings, you
will know that we have re-designed our Leavers form, Flexible Retirement
Leavers Form and Estimate Request forms so that we have all the extra
information we need to calculate the CARE pension. We have also consolidated
all the different estimate request forms into one form. Please use the revised forms that will be available
from 2 January 2015 on the website
and disregard any old copies. Any forms
we have already received in the old format will still be dealt with. Please see
the procedure guide
for guidance on which form is required.
Monthly Contributions Form DCC Pension Fund
Once a payment has been made into the Devon
Pension Fund bank account for the monthly contributions, please
submit the Monthly Contributions form, using the on-line system, as
close to the date of the payment as possible so that the contributions can
be allocated accordingly. Please make sure that the contribution
details entered on the form match the payment made. This way, your
contribution details will be up to date and the number of queries we
currently need to raise with employers will reduce. Access to the
on-line form can be arranged by e-mailing our Employers Liaison Officer Emma
Shand. This only applies to Devon fund employers – Somerset fund
employers should continue with existing arrangements.
Christmas and New Year opening times
Our office will be closed from 13:00 on 24 December 2014 and will reopen on 2 January 2015, so we will not be able to respond to telephone calls or e-mails during this period.
