Procedurally, the plea of guilty must be accepted by the court, and, if not plead to all charges, the prosecutor must decide whether to call evidence on the remaining charges.
Given that the judge received submissions on pay and pension implications, it suggests that he has accepted the guilty pleas and the court is now in the sentencing phase. This also implies that the prosecution lead no evidence on any charges where there was not a guilty plea, and therefore they would have been found not guilty of those.
All in all, sounds like they decided to plead guilty in the hopes of a reduced sentence. No idea whether or not there was a joint submission on sentence.
