Civil Service Compensation Scheme (CSCS)

Consultation

The current consultation is closed and there are no plans to amend the terms of the Civil Service Compensation Scheme.

Exit scheme planning

Until new Civil Service Compensation Scheme (CSCS) terms are finalised, exit schemes will be on 2010 CSCS terms. The scheme manager will provide a minimum of 3 months’ notice to employers in advance of new CSCS exit terms coming into effect.

We’ve provided information on these pages that tells you what you, as an employer, need to know about the CSCS and your responsibilities in delivering it to your staff.

Please note: you will need to arrange an early commissioning meeting or telekit between ourselves and your shared services or payroll provider a minimum of three months before gaining approval of an exit scheme. This will enable the estimated number of exits and dates to be agreed and provisionally booked in advance.

We will be able to assist with the forecasting and provisional booking of schemes as well as answering any queries you may have about the CSCS.

In the meantime you can view a ‘What to expect guide’ that outlines the CSCS process and provides estimated timescales to help you plan your exit scheme.
