There are different rules if a member has a full-time contract and an additional part-time contract, depending on which scheme arrangement they’re in. For these purposes the additional part-time contract is referred to as ‘excess service’. This occurs if a member has a full-time contract plus additional part-time contract(s). It doesn’t occur if they have multiple part-time contracts, even when they exceed 365 days.

The decision tree will help you understand:

1. Whether a member would have accrued service in the Local Government Pension Scheme
2. What happens to the service a member has built up in the remedy period

Information you’ll need:

1. Whether the member is affected by the Transitional Protection changes
2. Whether the member has worked for an employer eligible for the Local Government Pension Scheme
