(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations make amendments to the Local Government Pension Scheme Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2002 (the 2002 Regulations) in so far as they remain in effect by virtue the Local Government Pension Scheme (Amendment and Transitional Provisions) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2009 and the Local Government Pension Scheme (Benefits, Membership and Contributions) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2009 (the 2009 Regulations).
Article 14 of the Superannuation (Northern Ireland) Order 1972 confers express powers to make Regulations retrospective. These Regulations are retrospective, however no one will be adversely affected by this retrospection.
These Regulations will protect classroom assistants’ pensions by changing the denominator of the fraction used to calculate their pension entitlement from a whole-time equivalent of 32.5 hours per week to 36 hours per week. Classroom assistants employed by the Education and Library Boards who accrued pension rights on the basis of a whole-time equivalent of 32.5 hours per week during the period from 1 January 1995 to 30 November 2007 (inclusive) will have those rights protected. Thereafter their pension rights will be accrued on the basis of the whole-time equivalent of 36 hours per week.
In the case of classroom assistants employed by voluntary grammar and grant maintained integrated schools the protection period for pension accrued on the basis of a whole-time equivalent of 32.5 hours per week is from 1 January 1995 to 6 February 2009 (inclusive). Thereafter their pension rights will be accrued on the basis of the whole-time equivalent of 36 hours per week.
