(This note is not part of the Regulations)
This Order amends the Firefighters’ Pension Scheme Order (Northern Ireland) 2007. Part A1 of Schedule 7 to the Scheme sets out the contribution rates payable by members which are determined by reference to the applicable pensionable pay band. This Order substitutes the table in Part A1 to provide an annual one per cent uplift in the pay bands until 2018.
Article 2(2) to (4) corrects minor drafting errors.
This Order has retrospective effect from 1st April 2015. The power to provide for an order to have effect from a date that is earlier than that on which it is made is conferred by article 10(4) of the Fire Services (Northern Ireland) Order 1984, as continued by article 60 of the Fire and Rescue Services (Northern Ireland) Order 2006.
A full impact assessment has not been produced for this Order as no impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen.
