Public sector pension changes




[ch 4: page 111]

There have been important changes to public sector pension arrangements. All public sector employers must move staff to career average salary pensions by 2018 (Public Service Pensions Act 2013). The government's transitional arrangements under this legislation have come under attack in the employment tribunal for breaching the Equality Act 2010 (see Chapter 7, pages 237-238). 


Information about the Local Government Pension Scheme is available from a dedicated website: www.lgpsmember.org. 




Information about the impact of TUPE and the New Fair Deal for Pensions negotiated by the public services unions can be found on page 440, Chapter 12.
