Employer Support Groups
Employer Support Groups consist of employers who wish to meet with others
to discuss issues regarding their role and responsibilities regarding
pensions and to share good practice. The groups, four of them in all, meet
quarterly and are chaired by members of the Employer Branch, CSPD.
These groups are based on the size of their PCSPS membership. Owing to the
vast number of organisations covered by the CSP arrangements we cannot,
unfortunately, invite everyone to attend. However, this does not mean that
we do not want to hear from you.
The linked web pages give an overview report of the issues that have been
discussed. (See below for links.) We are currently developing a website
facility to allow you to comment on the discussions. Until then, please
email
employerhelpdesk@cabinet-office.x.gsi.gov.uk if you wish to make your
points known. Please also contact us via this email address if you would
like to propose an item for discussion.
What do we mean by ‘employer’?
The ‘employer’ is the HR person or persons responsible for:
-
ensuring that staffs’ pensions are considered when carrying out HR
procedure and deciding on HR policy; and
-
contract management of payroll providers and Authorised Pensions
Administration Centres (APACs).
