Pensions Committee: Vacancy for Non-district Employers representative

Wirral Council is the administering authority of the Merseyside Pension Fund. Under its Constitution, the council has delegated to Pensions Committee all those non-Executive functions vested in it as an administering authority of the Local Government Pension Scheme.

 

The Pensions Committee is comprised of fifteen voting members; ten of whom are members of Wirral Council, four members from the other local authorities and one member representing the other employing organisations in the Fund.
 
There is a vacancy for the role of Committee member representing non-district council employers within the Fund and we are seeking nominations from relevant employers.

 

Unfortunately, nominations cannot be accepted from employers with transferee body status, or from the local authorities that are already represented on Committee.
 
If more than one suitable nomination is received, the vacancy will be filled by means of a ballot with each of the relevant employers having one vote. Details of nominations and any ballot will be issued as soon as possible after the closing date.

 

 

How often does the Committee meet?
 
The Pensions Committee meet four times per year and typically take place of an evening at Birkenhead Town Hall, commencing at 6pm. Members of the Committee are also asked to attend sub-groups and are invited to attend a number of training events held during the year.

The non-district committee member will serve for a term of four years before being required to stand for re-election.
