# The Teachers' Superannuation (Consolidation) Regulations 1988, Regulation D1: Reckonable service generally


(1) Subject to regulation D2, a person is entitled to count as reckonable service—
(a) subject to paragraph (2), any period spent by him in pensionable employment,
(b) any period counting as reckonable service by virtue of regulations D3 to D6 or of regulation F5(7) (receipt of transfer value),
(c) any period which does not count by virtue of sub-paragraph (a) or (b) but which immediately before 1st November 1988 counted as reckonable service under regulation 4(1) of the 1976 Regulations,
(d) any period which immediately before 1st November 1988, under regulations 7 and 72(1)(a) of the 1976 Regulations (war service), was capable of counting as reckonable service for the purpose of calculating benefits under Part III of those Regulations, and
(e) any period of specified country service.
(2) Where during a financial year a person has spent one or more periods in part-time pensionable employment the length at which each such period counts as reckonable service is—
365×AB where—
A is the person’s contributable salary for the period, and
B is what his contributable salary for the whole of the financial year would have been if the employment had been full-time and had continued throughout the year.
(3) For the purposes of paragraph (2)—
(a) a period of part-time employment ends, and another such period begins, when any change occurs in the rate of the person’s contributable salary,
(b) no account is to be taken of any reduction in contributable salary during a period of sick leave or maternity leave,
(c) if a half or any greater fraction of a day results it is to be taken as one day, and any smaller fraction resulting is to be left out, and
(d) if the calculation would result in more than 365 days' counting as reckonable service in respect of the financial year, the excess does not so count.
