When an employees leaves the LGPS it is your responsibility to let us know as soon as possible.

You must let us know about an employee leaving by:

  • Completing a leaver form and uploading the document to their i-Connect employment record.
  • Including the leaver data in your monthly i-Connect submission.

We must receive a leaver form before your monthly submission to:

  • Efficiently process your employees pension benefit entitlement.
  • Make the arrangements needed to put their pension into payment.

Do not submit a leaver form more than one month before the leaving date as our member services team will not be able to process this.

Complete the leaver form by choosing from the following options.
