The Local Government Pension Scheme Regulations 1995

3.—(1) Notwithstanding any other provision in these regulations, where immediately before the commencement date paragraph 4 of Schedule 4 to the 1986 regulations (amount payable by a part-time employee purchasing additional periods of reckonable service to be calculated by reference to remuneration in a single comparable whole-time employment) applied as respects the amount to be paid by an employee, then, subject to regulation C12(5)—

(a) the period which he is entitled to count as a period of membership, and

(b) the payments to be made by him,

shall continue to be calculated in the same manner as was applicable immediately before the commencement date.

(2) Where—

(a) immediately before the commencement date a pensionable employee in whole-time employment was making payments under regulation C6 of the 1986 regulations in order to reckon an additional period as reckonable service, and

(b) on that date that employment ceases to be whole-time and becomes part-time employment by virtue only of the amendment of any definitions by these regulations,

then—

(i) nothing in these regulations shall affect the period which he is entitled to count as a period of membership by virtue of his having made payments before the commencement date calculated in accordance with the 1986 regulations, and

(ii) without prejudice to any variation of the election which may be agreed between him and his employing authority or to any relevant change in his circumstances after that date—

(I) payments made by him on or after that date shall be made by reference to his actual remuneration for the time being, but

(II) the period of membership which he is entitled to count by virtue of them shall continue to be calculated on the same basis as if his employment were a whole-time employment.
