# The Local Government Pension Scheme Regulations 1997, Regulation 132: Separate employments etc.


(1) Where a person holds separate employments under one Scheme employer, these Regulations apply as if each of them were with a different employer.
(2) This paragraph applies where a whole-time employee of a Scheme employer or a part-time employee with at least 30 contractual hours is also employed—
(a) as a returning officer at local government elections, or
(b) as an acting returning officer (including employment in the duties of a returning officer at an Assembly election which are required by regulations made under paragraph 2 of Schedule 1 to the European Assembly Elections Act 1978 to be discharged by an acting returning officer).
(3) Where paragraph (2) applies and the employee was in the whole-time employment or, as the case may be, the part-time employment immediately before 1st April 1974 and had duties in it which included one or both of the additional duties, each additional duty must be treated as a separate variable-time employment with a different Scheme employer from the Scheme employer with whom he is in the whole-time employment.
(4) Where paragraph (2) does and paragraph (3) does not apply, his employment for that duty (or those duties) must be treated as a (single) separate variable-time employment with a different Scheme employer.
(5) A person who—
(a) is a member in any employment, and
(b) is also a medical inspector of immigrants appointed under the Immigration Act 1971 who receives his pay in that appointment from a Scheme employer listed in Schedule 2,
is eligible to be an active member in that appointment and shall be deemed to be an officer in the employment of that Scheme employer.
