Employers Pensions Guide

The EPG tells you what you, as an employer, need to know about Civil Service pension arrangements, and your responsibilities in delivering the arrangements to your staff.

The EPG should be read in conjunction with Employer Pensions Notices (EPNs), which update the guide. As sections of the guide are reprinted, changes introduced in EPNs will be incorporated into the EPG.
