EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends the Firefighters’ Pension Scheme Order (Northern Ireland) 2007.
Paragraph 2(2) amends the definition of “retained firefighter” and “volunteer firefighter” so that they are now defined separately.
Paragraph 2(3) is consequential on the amendments made to the New Firefighters’ Pension Scheme (Northern Ireland) by the New Firefighters’ Pension Scheme (Amendment) Order (Northern Ireland) 2015 which provide those persons who were employed in Northern Ireland as retained firefighters between 1st July 2000 and 6th April 2006 with access to a pension scheme for that period. Paragraph 2(3) amends Part 4 of Schedule 6 to the Firefighters’ Pension Scheme Order (Northern Ireland) 2007 to provide a different amount of transfer value where the member of that Scheme meets certain requirements.
Paragraph 2(4) amends Part A1 of Schedule 7 to the Scheme to specify the pension contribution rates for regular firefighters payable from 1st April 2014.
A full impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen.
