Can Admission Agreements be backdated?

Admission Agreements should be signed before the effective date of admission. If there is a delay between the effective date of admission and the date the Admission Agreement is signed, the Contracting Authority/Admitted Body will be liable for claims made against Civil Service Pensions.

Please note:

• employers will not be admitted to Civil Service Pensions until the Admission Agreement is signed;
• a retrospective or backdated Admission Agreement may be completed at the discretion of the Scheme Manager (Cabinet Office). Requests will be considered on a case by case basis.
