The final pay controls (FPC) team received 1,416 applications for reassessment, with 881 of these received in December 2021 alone.
The team have completed 60% of all reassessments received so far and are working hard to complete the remainder as soon as they can. The team are working through the reassessments in strict date order and are currently working on those received on 17 December 2021. A further update will be provided on the status of the exercise in a future newsletter to keep you informed of our progress
Please do not contact the team for updates on your applications, they will contact you directly, once they have an update.
FPC new process reminder
All final pay control charges calculated on or after 1 July 2021 have been calculated to take into account the revised CPI percentage and new exemptions and therefore are not included as part of the reassessment process.
If your organisation has any final pay control charges after this date, please ensure that you make the payments within 30 days of receiving the invoice. If the invoices are not paid within the time limit, administration and interest charges will continually be added and will not be waived.
FPC1 form reminder
As part of the retirement process, employers are reminded that if they think a member is going to have a final pay control charge to ensure that the FPC1 Form is submitted at the same time as the application for benefits.
FPC and McCloud
The calculation of new final pay control charges has been paused for any retirements in April due to the transition of members from the 1995/2008 Scheme which closed on 31 March 2022 to the 2015 Scheme as of 1 April 2022. This is to prevent the double processing and issuing of invoices until the sub-awards have been processed for these cases.
Please note, that once you receive these invoices, the deadline for payments will be 30 days from the date of the invoice.
