Regulation 54 Amendment of regulation R5I1

For paragraph (6) of regulation R5 (part-time employment) substitute—

“(6)

If a member with pensionable service in part-time employment becomes entitled to a pension under regulation E2, E2A, E3 or E3A (ill health pensions, pensions on redundancy and early retirement pensions)—

(a)

the member’s pensionable service in part-time employment will count at its full length for the purpose of calculating—

(i)

whether and (if so) to what extent, the pensionable service upon which the pension under regulation E2 or E2A is based should be increased under that regulation; or

(ii)

the qualifying service for the purposes of regulation E3(2)(a) or regulation E3A(2)(a),

(b)

the pension will be based on the whole-time equivalent of the period of part-time employment and, in the case of a pension under regulation E2 or E2A, the increase under that regulation will be limited to such amount as bears the same proportion to the amount that would have been paid had the pensionable service not been part-time as the whole-time equivalent bears to comparable whole-time employment.”.
