(a)illness or injury,
(b)maternity leave,
(c)adoption leave,
(d)paternity leave, or
(e)parental leave,
and the earnings used to calculate the member's pensionable pay under regulation 13 are reduced or cease.
(2) For the purposes of this Part (apart from regulations 27 and 28), and subject to paragraph (3) [F1in the case of a member who is not a non-GP provider and paragraph (7) in the case of a member who is a non-GP provider], amounts equal to the pensionable pay that the member would have received if those circumstances had not applied are treated as having been paid to the member.
(3) Paragraph (2) does not apply to a member [F2who is not a non-GP provider] falling within paragraph (1)(a) as respects any period after the earnings used to calculate the member's pensionable pay under regulation 13 have ceased to be paid to the member.
(4) For the purposes of regulations 27 and 28, if for any period whilst the member falls within—
(a)paragraph (1) the earnings used to calculate the member's pensionable pay under regulation 13 are reduced, amounts equal to the reduced earnings are treated as pensionable pay, and
(b)paragraph (1)(b) to (e) the earnings used to calculate the member's pensionable pay under regulation 13 are reduced, during any period following that period whilst the member continues to fall within that paragraph and no such earnings are paid, amounts equal to the reduced earnings are treated as pensionable pay.
(5) For the purposes of paragraph (4)(b), any pay received by a woman on maternity leave in respect of any days during which the member returns to work for the purposes of keeping in touch with the workplace is to be ignored.
(6) For the purposes of this Part, during any period of absence which counts as pensionable service under regulation 9(3) [F3or (3A) (up to 24] months' leave of absence with full contributions) amounts equal to the rate of the member's pensionable pay immediately before the absence are treated as pensionable pay.
(7) In the case of a non-GP provider who—
(a)is one of a number of non-GP providers or practitioners who have elected as described in regulation [F413(8)] , each non-GP provider's or practitioner's pensionable earnings will be calculated as if the partnership's aggregate pensionable pay were equal to the amount of the partnership's aggregate pensionable earnings during the 12 month period ending immediately before the member's earnings were reduced or ceased;
(b)except where the non-GP provider's pensionable pay falls to be calculated as described in sub-paragraph (a), the non-GP provider will be treated as having continued to receive the same average rate of pensionable earnings as during the 12 month period ending immediately before his earnings were reduced or ceased.
[F5(8) If the earnings used to calculate a member’s pensionable pay cease during a period of absence to which this regulation applies—
(a)a non-GP provider falling within paragraph (1)(a) will, subject to sub-paragraph (b), be treated as having continued in pensionable employment for a period of 12 months from the date on which the member’s earnings ceased and the member will not be treated as having left pensionable employment until the end of that 12 month period;
(b)a non-GP provider falling within paragraph (1)(b) to (e) who paid contributions on the basis of reduced earnings in accordance with paragraph (4)(b) will, subject to paragraph (9), continue to pay contributions at that rate, except that no refund of contributions or other benefit will be payable until the member actually leaves pensionable employment;
(c)a member other than a non-GP provider will, subject to paragraph (5), be treated as having left pensionable employment except that no refund of contributions or other benefit will be payable until the member actually leaves pensionable employment.
(8A) For the purposes of paragraph (8)(a)—
(a)during the 12 month period, the non-GP provider’s pensionable earnings will be calculated as described in paragraph (7)(a) or (b);
(b)at the end of the 12 month period, when the member is regarded as having left pensionable employment, no refund of contributions or other benefit will be payable until the member actually leaves employment.]
(9) For the purposes of paragraph (8) [F6(b)] , the rate of contributions payable shall be the rate that would have been payable on the basis of reduced earnings in accordance with paragraph (4)(a) had the non-GP provider's reduced earnings excluded any earnings for a day during which the non-GP provider, whilst on maternity leave, returned to work for the purposes of keeping in touch with the workplace.
(10) If a [F7member] fails to pay any contributions which are required to be paid to the Scheme in respect of a period of absence to which this regulation applies, the non-GP provider will be treated as having left pensionable employment except that no refund of contributions or other benefit shall be payable unless the [F7member] actually leaves pensionable employment.
(11) If a [F8member] to whom [F9this regulation] applies leaves pensionable employment or, by virtue of [F10paragraph (8)(c), (8A)(b) or (10)] , is treated as having left pensionable employment, without becoming entitled to a preserved pension, then if the [F8member] later returns to pensionable employment regulation 9(4) will apply as if the reference to 12 months were a reference to 3 years.
(12) The benefits payable on the death of a [F11member] whose earnings ceased during a period of absence to which paragraph (7) applies will be calculated as if the [F11member] had died in pensionable employment on the day before the [F11member]'s earnings ceased.
