New monthly data returns template
If you’re moving to our new administration system (UPM) as a Phase 1 employer (Bexley, Ealing, LPFA, Herts and Southern Firefighter schemes) , you need to download our new monthly data returns template and specification document.
Don’t forget to share these documents with the relevant people within your organisation (and / or your payroll provider).
Employer training and support
The introduction of our new pensions administration system (UPM) is just around the corner, with our first two clients, Bexley and Ealing, due to go live in January 2022.
If you’re a Phase 1 employer, you can now book your three essential training sessions online. We will also be releasing our 2022/23 training schedule early next year.

Discretions
The regulations governing the pensions arrangements allow some scheme flexibility for both employers and members. These are known as discretions.
There are two types of discretions:
- Mandatory discretions which must be formulated and published
- Non-mandatory discretions which don’t need to be formulated and published
