Employer training

Hampshire Pension Services are committed to working in partnership with Scheme Employers and offer a number of different employer training, workshops and focus groups. Sessions are currently being delivered remotely through Microsoft Teams.

There is no charge for attending and sessions are interactive, friendly and informal. There's plenty of time to ask questions and test your understanding.

LGPS Workshops

The sessions cover the day-to-day LGPS administration that employers are likely to encounter and are a good introduction to the LGPS or a useful refresher if it has been a while since you attended the workshops. Employers can book onto as many or as few of the sessions as they wish.

The sessions are useful for employers and staff in all kinds of roles, including:

  • Payroll departments – deducting contributions, calculating pay, working with HR
  • HR departments – taking on staff, setting policies, authorising absences and retirements
  • Users of external HR or payroll providers – to understand what you're asking of them and making sure there are no gaps in processes
  • HR & Payroll providers – understanding what's being asked of you

If you work for a small employer, you might do all of these jobs.
