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.

2

Paragraph (1) shall not apply to any person who ceases to be an active member on the day before the commencement date–

a

by virtue of regulation B11 of the 2000 Regulations (leaving the Scheme); or

b

by virtue of leaving local government employment on that date and becoming a pensioner member on the commencement date,

and these Regulations shall apply to any such person as if he had already so ceased immediately before the commencement date.

If any person has notified his employer under regulation B11(2) of the 2000 Regulations before the commencement date that he wishes to cease to be an active member, but would not (apart from this paragraph) have ceased to be an active member immediately before the commencement date–

a

paragraph (1) shall not apply to him;

he shall cease to be such a member on the day before the commencement date; and

c

these Regulations shall apply to him as if he had already so ceased immediately before the commencement date.

5

Where such a notice is served, these Regulations shall apply to such a person as if he had already ceased to be an active member immediately before the commencement date.
