Short term membership of LGPS

I'm changing jobs in September. I am moving from full time work to part time in a different post. Is it worth me joining the LGPS? I may only be in this new position for a year or two.

Absolutely definitely worth joining. You can always transfer your built up pension if necessary if you do move.

Yes - or leave it there. They will get 1/49th of their salary as a pension per annum - which if deferred will rise in line with CPI until they retire.

While you are employed you also get life insurance equivalent to 3 times salary - and ill health benefits.

Definitely worth it!

If they can leave it then yes. Was really thinking about moving it only if they hadn't accrued enough service to keep it there.
