Regulation 10 Persons to whom long-term compensation is payable
The Corporation shall, subject to the provisions of these regulations, pay long-term compensation to any person to whom these regulations apply, who—
has suffered loss of employment or loss or diminution of emoluments in consequence of a relevant event not later than 10 years after the material date;
had not, save as is provided in regulation 15, at the date of the loss or commencement of the diminution reached normal retiring age;
had been continuously engaged (without a break of more than 12 months at any one time) in relevant employment during the period beginning 8 years before the material date and ending at the date of the loss; and for this purpose the expression “relevant employment” includes any period of national service immediately following such employment;
has made a claim for compensation in accordance with the provisions of Part VII of these regulations not later than 2 years after the date on which the loss of employment or emoluments took place or the commencement of the diminution of emoluments began in respect of which the claim is made or 2 years after the coming into operation of these reggulations, whichever is the later.
Long-term compensation shall not, however, be paid:—
to a person who has suffered loss of employment in consequence of a relevant event, if his employment could have been terminated by reason of misconduct or incapacity to perform such duties as, immediately before that loss of employment, he was performing or might reasonably have been required to perform; or
to a person who has been offered reasonably comparable employment under the Crown or in the service of the Corporation or of a publicly-owned company.
Regulation 5(3) and (4) (which relate to offers of employment) shall apply for the purposes of this regulation as they apply for the purposes of regulation 5.
Claims for long-term compensation for loss of employment shall in all respects be treated as claims for such compensation for the loss of emoluments occasioned thereby and the provisions of these regulations shall apply to all such claims accordingly.
