Employer Discretions Policies
The Local Government Pension Scheme Regulations define the details of the scheme for members, employing authorities and the administering authority (Wiltshire Pension Fund, as part of Wiltshire Council).
However, the LGPS Regulations do allow both Wiltshire Pension Fund and the employing authorities, discretion over various elements of the pension scheme; the first six of these should be outlined in an employer discretions policy.
- Augmentation of membership
- Awarding additional pension
- Flexible retirement
- Waiving actuarial reductions
- Allowing early payment of benefits
- Waiving actuarial reduction for early retirement
Below are the employer discretion policies we have received to date . If your employer is not listed below, then we have not received an employers discretions policy from them which means your employer is unable to exercise any of the first six discretions.
Please note: All non-academy school staff are part of the relevant local authority's discretions policy.
