If you decide to return to work, you must inform us as soon as possible.
The Oxfordshire Pension Fund or your previous employer may need to adjust your pension, or there may be differences to your future entitlement.
If you retired on or after 1 April 2014
There is no current earnings restriction, but having a pension already may change a future LGPS entitlement.
If you retired before 1 April 2014
The fund can exercise its discretion on whether to apply earnings restrictions to future employment. The current policy does not apply restrictions to new employment that began after 1 January 2011. If re-employment started before that date, ensure you advise Pension Services when your circumstances change.
If you receive a compensatory pension
If we pay you a compensatory pension alongside your LGPS pension, your former employer will decide whether your compensatory pension needs adjustment. They should have a policy which they publish and review regularly.
If you are receiving a short-term ill-health pension (tier three)
You must contact your former employer if you take any other employment. Your continued entitlement to the pension is dependent on the employer's assessment of your ability to take on any 'gainful employment'.
