Northern Ireland

(1)

For the purpose of calculating the amount of any benefit under these regulations—

(a)

a period of membership in excess of a number of complete years shall be counted as the appropriate fraction of a year (and accordingly references to the length in years of membership shall be taken as references to the number of complete years and any fraction of a year in the period of membership); and

(b)

subject to paragraph (3), a period of membership in part-time service in local government employment shall be treated as though it had been a proportionately reduced period of membership in whole-time local government employment.

(2)

In paragraph (1)—

  • “the appropriate fraction” means the fraction of which—

    1. (a)

      the numerator is the number of complete days comprised in the excess; and

    2. (b)

      the denominator is 365; and

  • “proportionately reduced” means reduced in the proportion which the number of contractual hours during the period of part-time service in the employment, bears to the number of contractual hours of that employment if it were on a whole-time basis.

(3)

Paragraph (1)(b) does not apply in determining a member’s total period of membership for the purposes of regulation D7(2) (qualification for enhancement of pension in cases of ill-health) and is subject to paragraph 4 of Schedule D3 (additional membership in such cases).
