Local Government Pensions Scheme
The Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS) is one of the largest pension schemes in the UK with collective funds running into billions. It is a final salary, public and statutory scheme meaning its particulars are determined by an Act of Parliament.
It is a nationwide scheme and is a valuable part of a pay and reward package for employees working in local government or working for other employers that retain membership of the LGPS.
We see it as a vital part of UNISON policy to ensure that our local government members are provided with a good quality pension scheme that gives our members the chance to save for a pension that rewards their endeavours.
