CHANGING JOBS WITHIN THE LGPS
If you are changing your job, but still working in Local Government or for another employer participating in the LGPS, then you may ask for the pension rights that you have built up to be transferred. They will not be transferred automatically.
If you are changing your job, but still working in Local Government or for another employer participating in the LGPS, then you may ask for the pension rights that you have built up to be transferred. They will not be transferred automatically.
If you wish to transfer your pension rights you must elect to do so WITHIN 12 MONTHS of
re-joining the LGPS or such longer period as your employer allows. This is employer discretion; you can ask your employer what their policy is on this matter.
The terms of the transfer ensure that you will normally be entitled to the same amount of membership in your new job as you were in your old one. If, however, you will be receiving a lower full-time equivalent salary in your new employment, a transfer may not be beneficial and you should seek further information first.
