The National Health Service Pension Scheme (Scotland) Regulations 2008

Part-time employees

2.C.4—(1) The pensionable pay for the 2008–2009 scheme year in respect of a member’s part time employment is such amount as would, in the opinion of the Scottish Ministers, be the pensionable pay for a comparable whole-time employment under which services of the kinds performed in the part time employment were performed on the assumption in paragraph (2).

(2) In forming that opinion, the Scottish Ministers must assume that the pensionable pay for the part time employment is the part-time amount.

(3) In paragraph (2) “the part-time amount” means the amount that would be the pensionable pay for the part-time employment if it were determined in the same way as the pensionable pay for a whole time employment is determined under regulation 2.C.3.

(4) If, apart from this paragraph, the pensionable pay for a scheme year in respect of a member’s part time employment would not be a whole number of pounds, it must be rounded down to the nearest whole pound.
