Pensions

As civil servants, lawyers in the GLS are eligible to join the Civil Service pension arrangements; usually either a defined benefit pension scheme or personal pension.

Civil Service pensions are part of the overall pay and rewards package. Members contribute towards their pension, and their employers also pay a significant contribution to provide the scheme benefits.

The pension scheme is set by statute. It is managed by Cabinet Office, supported by a Governance Group of representatives nominated by Cabinet Office and the Council of Civil Service Unions.

Full details on the latest pension arrangements can be found at http://www.civilservice.gov.uk/pensions.
