Backpay for employees who have left employment since 1 April 2024
If requested by an ex-employee to do so, it is strongly recommended that employers should pay any monies due to that employee from 1 April 2024 to the employee’s last day of employment. When salary arrears are paid to ex-employees who were in the LGPS, the employer must inform its local LGPS fund. Employers will need to amend the CARE and final pay figures (if the ex-employee has pre-April 2014 LGPS membership) accordingly.

Last year, the National Association of Local Councils (NALC) announced they would no longer re-baseline the Green Book rates published by the Local Government Association (LGA). As a result, the LGA rates now apply across the sector from this settlement. However, we will be releasing an updated version featuring local council scales soon.
