Amendment of the Teachers' Superannuation (Scotland) Regulations 2005

This section has no associated Executive Note

56.  After regulation E34 insert the following–

Pensionable salary – supplemental

E34A.(1) This regulation has effect for the purpose of determining a teacher’s salary where regulation E34(3A) applies (“the alternative pensionable salary”).

(2) In this regulation “salary period” is each period in which the teacher’s salary rate is unchanged.

(3) The average of the teacher’s full salary for the best consecutive 1095 days of pensionable salary service (increased as specified in paragraph (4)) during the period of 10 years ending on the last day of the teacher’s pensionable salary service shall first be determined.

(4) For the purposes of paragraph (3) the teacher’s full salary for each salary period is increased by the amount (if any) by which, immediately before the end of the teacher’s pensionable salary service, it would have increased if it had been the annual rate of an official pension within the meaning of section 5(1) of the 1971 Act beginning, and first qualifying for increases under that Act, on the same day as the salary period ended.

(5) The alternative pensionable salary is the average of the actual full salary for the 1095 days which, resulting from and in accordance with the determination under paragraph (3), are the best consecutive 1095 days of pensionable salary service, multiplied by A/B.

(6) In paragraph (5)–

  • “A” is the annual rate of retirement pension to which the teacher would have been entitled by virtue of these Regulations if–

    (a)

    in calculating the teacher’s full salary for each salary period the teacher’s full salary for that period had in fact been increased as specified in paragraph (4); and

    (b)

    the 1971 Act did not apply; and

  • “B” is the annual rate of retirement pension to which the teacher would have been entitled by virtue of the combined effect of these Regulations and the increase effected by the 1971 Act up to the last day of the teacher’s pensionable salary service, if the teacher’s pensionable salary had been the amount determined under paragraph (5) without the multiplication by A/B.

(7) For the purposes of paragraph (3) periods when the teacher was not in pensionable employment shall be disregarded, except in relation to the period of 10 years, and accordingly the 1095 days referred to in paragraphs (3) and (5) may be discontinuous.

(8) In computing the period of 1095 days referred to in paragraphs (3) and (5) no account shall be taken of a leap year day (29th February).

(9) Where however a teacher’s pensionable salary service ends in a year on or after the leap year day that leap year day shall be included in the period of 1095 days referred to in paragraphs (3) and (5).

(10) In this regulation “full salary” has the same meaning as in regulation E34..
