Joiner, Leaver, Retirement (T2)

Yes, all contributions from Officer and Practitioner membership count towards your retirement benefits.

This is most likely because we do not have the GP's Pension Scheme Membership number (SD number) attached to their record. 

This could be because they have recently CCT'd. 

Please let us know the SD number, so that we can add it to their PCSE Online record. 

Once this is done the practice need to complete the Pensions Joiner form on PCSE Online with the GP's salary and tier rate details. 

This will automatically collect the contributions due (from the date the GP started) from the practice in the next monthly statement and will update the GP's Employee Contribution Statement on PCSE Online. 

After these steps have been completed the GP will be able to submit their end of year form.

If any years are showing as already initiated in the Type 1 or Type 2 screen, you need to go the Listing Screen button to see forms that are in draft status or have already been completed or processed. 

If this doesn't resolve the issue then please contact PCSE. Please visit the link below, this page shows all ways you can contact us. https://pcse.england.nhs.uk/contact-us/gp-pensions-enquiries

If you retired during the 2022/23 financial year , you need to enter the date of your retirement in the annualisation calculator.

This will be because we only have contributions recorded for you in the Oct-Mar period. If this is incorrect, please check that your Performer record on PCSE Online shows the correct start date for the post. 

If your Performer record does show the correct start date, please contact us as the Pensions team will need to update the Pensions Joiner form to correct the start date. 

If your Performer record on PCSE Online shows the incorrect start date, please contact us to get this rectified in the first instance and then the Pensions Joiner form will need to be corrected.

After these steps have been completed you will be able to submit your end of year form for 2022/23.

If your income type is showing as profit share when you were a salaried GP, please make sure you submitted a Performer employment change from partner to salaried GP on PCSE Online and that it is showing as approved. If it is Pending, speak to the Practice Manager to get this approved.

If your employment status as partner is approved, speak to the Practice Manager as they will need to update your income type. This is done by them completing the Pensions “Leaver” form on PCSE Online to end your partner role and then completing a Pensions Joiner form to commence your role as a salaried GP. This will automatically update your Employee Contribution Statement on PCSE Online. After these steps have been completed you will be able to submit your end of year form for 2022/23.

If you have never been a partner at the practice, please use the “Pensions Contribution Query” option on the Contact Us form and provide the details of how what you are expecting to see on your statement differs from what PCSE Online is showing so that we can investigate for you.

When the practice submits the Pensions Joiner form on PCSE Online this will commence deductions from the practice for you as a salaried GP and collect arrears due. 

This will automatically update your Employee Contribution Statement. Once you can see the contributions on PCSE Online you can submit your end of year form.

For each practice you work at as a salaried GP you need to update your Performer record on PCSE Online. Please see the Performer List Performer Management user guide.
