Payment and amount of employee’s contributions

C1.—(1) Subject to paragraph (3), a pensionable employee shall, at such intervals as the Committee may determine, make contributions to the fund in respect of every employment in which he is a pensionable employee.

(2) Subject to paragraph (3), the amount of the contribution to be made for any period is—

(a)in the case of a manual worker, 5%; and

(b)in the case of an officer, 6%,

of his remuneration in the employment; and any reduction in remuneration by reason of the actual or assumed enjoyment by the employee during any period of absence from duty of any statutory entitlement shall be disregarded.

(3) A pensionable employee who was making contributions in accordance with regulation 14(4) of the 1981 regulations shall be entitled to continue to make such contributions as if those regulations had not been revoked.

(4) A pensionable employee shall not make contributions in respect of any employment in relation to which he is entitled to reckon 45 years' reckonable service.

(5) For the purposes of paragraph (4), reckonable service does not include reckonable service before attaining the age of 60 years beyond a total of 40 years.

(6) For the purposes of this regulation, the remuneration of a part-time employee for any period, except a period during which he was on leave of absence from duty by reason of illness or injury with reduced remuneration or without remuneration, is to be taken to be the remuneration he would have received if during that period he had worked no more and no less than the contractual hours.
