Public Sector Pensions Strike

If you are away from work without the permission of your employer due to being involved in a strike, your LGPS membership will show a break for any days that you are absent unless you pay contributions to avoid that break. The rate at which you have to pay contributions to avoid this break in membership is 16% of the pay that you would have received but for being on strike. This rate is set out in the scheme regulations and, as any strike period is unauthorised leave, your employer does not make a contribution. If you wish to pay contributions for any strike period you need to notify your employer, in writing, within 30 days of returning to work (although your employer can extend this period at their discretion).
