Regulation 12 Non-aggregable service

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

–

(1)

In this regulation–

(a)

“primary office” means the office in respect of which eligibility for the personal pension arises;

(b)

“secondary office” means an office other than the primary office;

(c)

references to an election made by an office-holder include references to any election that may, if she has died, be made by another person in respect of her.

(2)

This regulation applies to an office-holder whose successive periods of service in different offices are not aggregable (so as to be treated as service wholly in the latest office) for the purposes of eligibility for pension and who, under any relevant enactment is entitled to elect between a pension based on service in a later office and one based on service in an earlier office.

(3)

In determining the amount of any contribution to be made out of such office-holder’s lump sum, no account shall be taken of any periodical payments made by her during service in a secondary office if that service is to be disregarded for the purpose of determining the personal pension for which she elects and any such payments shall, in accordance with regulation 13, be refunded.

(4)

If account is to be taken of service in a secondary office for the purpose of determining the personal pension for which the office-holder elects, then for the purpose of regulation 11 above–

(a)

if the primary and secondary offices were both 15-year offices or both 20-year offices, any period of service in the secondary office during which she made periodical payments shall be treated as if it had been a period of service in the primary office;

(b)

if the primary office was a 20-year office and the secondary office a 15-year office, any such period shall be treated as if it had been a corresponding period of service in the primary office multiplied by a factor of ÷£; and

(c)

if the primary office was a 15-year office and the secondary office a 20-year office, any such period shall be treated as if it had been a corresponding period of service in the primary office multiplied by a factor of Refunds of 3/4.
