Paragraph 3 Pension contributions

Changes not yet applied. Later legislation changes this provision in ways not yet written into the text below:

(1)

A firefighter member must pay pension contributions to the authority at the rate of 8.5 per cent. of the firefighter member’s pensionable pay for the time being.

(2)

The contributions payable under paragraph (1) may be deducted by the authority from each instalment of pensionable pay as it becomes due, but this is subject to any other method of payment that may be agreed between the authority and the member.

(3)

For the purposes of this rule, the pensionable pay of a firefighter member during a period of maternity, paternity or adoption leave is the pay that the person receives for that period including the value of any statutory maternity, paternity or adoption pay under the Social Security Contributions and Benefits Act 1992f1.
