PENSIONS
These Regulations replace the provisions of the Local Government Superannuation (Scotland) Regulations 1987 (S.I. 1987/1850) and constitute the occupational pension scheme for persons engaged in local government employment in Scotland (other than teachers, policemen and firemen) who are active members of the Scheme (previously “pensionable employees”) on or after 1st April 1998. They also replace them in part for other (deferred or pensioner) members in accordance with the Local Government Pension Scheme (Transitional Provisions) (Scotland) Regulations 1998 (S.I. 1998/364). Except as so replaced the 1987 Regulations will continue to apply to deferred or pensioner members unless they become active members again.
