Your payments

We’ll protect your pension from fraud by sending a proof of existence certificate or by asking you to confirm your identity online. Please fill in the form and return it to us straight away so we can continue to pay your pension.

When will I get paid?

We’ll pay your pension to your bank or building society account for:

  • Cambridgeshire Pension Fund – around the last working day of the month.
  • Northamptonshire Pension Fund – around the 25th of the month.

Payslips

We upload your payslips monthly to your online pension account. We send paper copies at key times of the year or following a change to your circumstances.

We’ll send payslips to your home address, in the following circumstances:

  • your first pay
  • in March (year end information on payslip)
  • in April (when your pension increases)
  • in May (for your first complete month after your pension has increased)
  • any change in your tax code
  • any month where your net pay is changed by £5.00 or more.

It’s important that you tell us of any changes to your address. If pay slips are returned to us, we’ll have to stop your pension as a fraud protection measure.

Will my pension increase?

Each year, the pension you get from us is usually increased in line with the cost of living. This is based on the Consumer Price Index as assessed over the previous year, to 30 September. This will be pro-rated if you haven’t had your pension for the full year.

Your State Pension

We don’t manage State Pensions. These are managed by The Pensions Service, as part of the Department for Work and Pensions.
