PART HMISCELLANEOUS AND SUPPLEMENTAL

Modified application in case of employment at reduced salary

H1.—(1) If—

(a)a person who has been in pensionable employment either—

(i)continues to be employed, or

(ii)ceases to be employed and is re-employed within 6 months,

by the same employer at a reduced rate of contributable salary, and

(b)he does not elect under regulation C1(6) that his contributable salary is to be treated as having continued at the previous rate, and

(c)his employer notifies the Secretary of State in writing, within 13 weeks after the first day of his employment at the reduced rate, that his employment at that rate is in the interests of the efficient discharge of the employer’s functions, and

(d)the application to him of this paragraph would, taking into account prospective increases under the Pensions (Increase) Act 1971(1) of benefits under Part E, be beneficial,

these Regulations have effect in relation to him with the modifications set out in Part II of Schedule 10.

(2) For the purposes of paragraph (1)—

(a)the contributable salary of a person in part-time employment is to be taken to be what it would have been if the employment had been full-time, and

(b)a local education authority and the governors of the schools maintained by it are to be taken to be the same employer,

but where the employers at the previous rate and at the reduced rate were in fact different, the former is the employer for the purposes of notification under paragraph (1)(c).

(3) A second or subsequent application of paragraph (1) does not affect its previous operation.

Modified application in certain other cases

(2) Where this regulation applies, to the extent that the person’s guaranteed minimum is otherwise appropriately secured within the meaning of section 52C(4) of the Pensions Act(5)—

(a)for the purposes of section 35(2) of that Act (amount of guaranteed minimum) the person’s earnings factors shall be determined by reference to the last order under section 21 of that Act to come into force before the end of the tax year in which his service was terminated and without reference to the last such order to come into force before the end of the final relevant year, and

(b)the weekly equivalent mentioned in section 35(2) of that Act shall be increased in accordance with any additional requirements for the time being prescribed for the purposes of section 45(1)(b) (exclusion from liability to pay a limited revaluation premium).
