LOCAL GOVERNMENT

These Regulations are supplemental to the Local Government Pension Scheme Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2002 (“the 2002 Regulations”) which set out the pension arrangements of the Local Government Pension Scheme (“the Scheme”) from 1st February 2003 (“the commencement date”). These Regulations make provision for the transition from the Scheme arrangements set out in the Local Government Pension Scheme Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2000 (“the 2000 Regulations”), and the other regulations specified in Schedule 1 to these Regulations, to those set out in the 2002 Regulations. These Regulations revoke provisions of the 2000 Regulations relating to administration of the Scheme (which are replaced by provisions in Part IV of the 2002 Regulations) for all members of the Scheme and revoke the other provisions for those who are members in their employment on that date (“active members”). But they provide for the continuation of certain provisions of the 2000 Regulations for members who are not then active members. They also make amendments to those Regulations to provide for continuity of membership in periods of maternity absence or parental leave and in relation to an employee’s obligations to make contributions during a period of maternity absence.
