LGPS (Scotland)


Public Sector Pensions: LGPS (Scotland)

LGPS (Scotland) has approximately a 95% overlap with the rules of LGPS

(England and Wales). The differences are as follows;

1) All employees migrate to CARE on April 1st 2015

2) The “50/50 Check” includes Nil Pay during OAL/OMP/OPL

3) APP does not apply when PP is greater than APP

4) Councillors are allowed in BOTH Sections, but are not subject to

APP

5) Only overtime worked up to the employee’s FTE hours is

pensionable, anything in excess of those FTE hours is

non-pensionable.



LGPS (Northern Ireland)


Public Sector Pensions: LGPS (Northern Ireland)

LGPS (Northern Ireland) has approximately a 99% overlap with the rules of

LGPS (England and Wales). The differences are as follows;

1) All employees migrate to CARE on April 1st 2015

2) Councillors are allowed in the Main Section only, but are not

subject to APP


Public Sector Pensions:

LGPS (Scotland & Northern Ireland)

All changes between LGPS (England and Wales) and LGPS (Scotland) and

LGPS (Northern Ireland) will be controlled by the scheme type

(T5GPBSP_SCH-LGSCH).

LGPS (England and Wales) = “LG__E”

LGPS (Scotland) = “LG__S”

LGPS (Northern Ireland) = “LG__N”




Councillors will be identified by a new feature GBLG2 (and a BADI)

LGPS (England and Wales): GBAPP will not process councillors

LGPS (Scotland): GBAPP will process councillors,

no APP, allowed in 50/50

LGPS (Northern Ireland): GBAPP will process councillors,

no APP, NOT allowed in 50/50

Does anyone attending need LGPS (Scotland)? (If so, how will you handle

overtime?)

Does anyone attending need LGPS (England & Wales) and are not using SAP

standard? Will you use the new feature GBLG2 to exclude your councillors

from LGPS 2014 processing – now that it has been delivered?

TPS expect to provide a monthly file for members that are moving to the

CARE scheme, each month until February 2022!!!

SAP intend to deliver a program, which will be very similar to the PAE

Mass Opt In report (RPUPAEG3) to load the monthly file.

SAP intend to deliver a new cumulative wage type for Pensionable

Pay (i.e. /162 and /163)

SAP intend to “hard-code” as many of the TPS parameters (in payroll

functionGBLGP) as possible, so that all customers follow the same

rules from April 2015 as TPS seems to be the only scheme dictating

the scheme rules to employers!



April 2015 Teachers Pension will be controlled by the scheme type

(T5GPBSP_SCH-LGSCH).

TPS (England and Wales) = “TEA__E”



Does anyone attending need TPS (Scotland)?

Does anyone attending foresee issues with handling tapered employees for 8

years? Would you prefer a one-off conversion and then handle exceptions

each month? If a one-off conversion could be provided, would you be able to

differentiate between NPA 60 and NPA 65 members within SAP HR already??

Who is considering MDC?
