(This note is not part of the Regulations)
The Police Pension (Northern Ireland) Regulations 2009 (“the 2009 Regulations”) provide for a defined benefits pension scheme for the members of the Police Service of Northern Ireland.
These Regulations amend the 2009 Regulations so as to ensure compliance with the requirements prescribed by the Pensions (No. 2) Act (Northern Ireland) 2009 (“the Pensions Act”) and the Occupational and Personal Pension Schemes (Automatic Enrolment) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2010 with regard to arrangements the employer must make in respect of automatic enrolment and re-enrolment of a jobholder in a qualifying scheme. The amendments also ensure the Scheme complies with other arrangements prescribed by the Pensions Act and the 2010 Regulations by which a jobholder or worker may join and leave a qualifying pension scheme.
