Absences

Find out how the pension you build up in the LGPS could be affected if you are away from work.

Industrial dispute – strike break

If you are absent for a day or more due to a trade dispute the period will not count for pension purposes unless you elect to pay additional pension contributions (APCs) to purchase the amount of pension 'lost' during that period of absence.

For further information on how going on strike may affect your pension, please see the frequently asked questions available on the national LGPS website for members.
