LGPS pension schemes

In October 2026, the Hammersmith and Fulham Pension Fund Committee approved a revised administration strategy, introducing stricter financial penalties for employers who submit contributions and schedules late. This updated strategy, which is mandatory for all Local Government Pension Schemes, aims to ensure consistent and resilient pension administration by deterring persistent poor performance.
