Regulation R10 Members who work temporary additional sessions

This regulation applies to members who work temporary additional sessions.

Any period of employment in respect of a temporary additional session will be ignored when calculating a member's pensionable service, and any payment received in respect of that employment will be ignored when calculating the member's pensionable pay.

In this regulation, “temporary additional session” means a session equivalent to an extra notional half-day which a consultant, senior hospital medical officer or senior hospital dental officer or an officer appointed to a post in the grade of associate specialist has, in exceptional circumstances, undertaken to work and which does not form part of the member's normal contractual duties.

In the case of a member who holds a whole-time consultant post and who receives at least 10/11ths of the pensionable pay that he would have received for whole-time pensionable employment, “temporary additional session” also includes any session in excess of 10 in any one week, regardless of its length.
