Pension pay dates for the next 12 months
If you receive a pension from the Berkshire Pension Fund (Local Government Pension Scheme) you will receive your pension through a direct payment into your bank account.
Regular payments are made into your bank account or building society account on the last working day of the month.
The payment dates for the next 12 months are listed below:
Please note these pay dates apply to UK bank accounts only. If you have your pension paid into an overseas bank account it may arrive a few days after the pay date quoted above.
In previous years we paid your pension slightly earlier in December, however since 2024 your December payment is made to your account on the last working day of the month in line with the rest of the year.
You can view your monthly payslips via your online account ‘Engage’.
As you will be aware historically we have posted a payslip to you if your monthly net pension payment has changed by more than £1 from the previous month. Please note that as of April 2025, we have moved to digital-only payslips. Printed payslips will no longer be issued.
All members can access their payslips securely via our secure online portal - 'Engage' – payslips will be available to view from the payment date of each month.
If you need help accessing your online payslip or have any questions, please contact our payroll team on 01628 796670.
We have produced a guide to viewing your monthly payslip online.
