  "text": "(1) An employee’s pay is the total of—\n(a) all the salary, wages, fees and other payments paid to him for his own use in respect of his employment;\n(b) the money value of any benefits provided for him by reason of his employment; and\n(c) any other payment or benefit specified in his contract of employment as being a pensionable emolument.\n(2) But an employee’s pay does not include—\n(a) payments for non-contractual overtime;\n(b) any travelling, subsistence or other allowance paid in respect of expenses incurred in relation to the employment;\n(c) any payment in consideration of loss of holidays;\n(d) any payment in lieu of notice to terminate his contract of employment;\n(e) any payment as an inducement not to terminate his employment before the payment is made;\n(f) any amount representing the money value of the provision of a motor vehicle (but see paragraphs (8) and (9)); or\n(g) in the case of an employee or former employee of the Commission for the New Towns, any payment made under any scheme relating to the termination of the employment of employees by the Commission in respect of the completion before a specified date of specified functions.\n(3) For regulation 12, the pay of a part-time employee for any period is the pay he would have received if during that period he had worked the contractual hours.\n(4) But paragraph (3) does not apply to periods during which the employee was away from work by reason of illness or injury with reduced or no pay.\n(5) If a Scheme employer agrees with the bodies or persons representative of any description of employees the method for determining the whole or a specified part of the pay of employees of that description for the period during which the agreement applies, the pay of a member who is such an employee is the amount so determined.\n(6) A Scheme employer must notify in writing every member affected by such an agreement.\n(7) That notification must include a conspicuous statement as to the place where he may obtain information about details of the agreement.\n(8) Where—\n(a) a member's contribution under regulation C2 or C3 of the 1986 regulations for a period including 31st December 1992 was based on pay which for the 1986 regulations as then in force included an amount representing the money value to him of the provision of a motor vehicle, and\n(b) immediately before the commencement date his remuneration for the 1995 regulations included such an amount,\nthen his pay includes such an amount.\n(9) But paragraph (8) shall cease to apply if—\n(a) he leaves employment with the employing authority who were employing him on 31st December 1992 (otherwise than as a result of a transfer to another Scheme employer which is beyond his control); or\n(b) he is neither provided with a motor vehicle nor receives an amount representing the money value to him of the provision of such a vehicle.\n(10) No sum may be taken into account in calculating pay unless income tax liability has been determined on it.",
