(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the National Health Service Superannuation Scheme (Scotland) Regulations 2011 (“the 2011 Regulations”) and the National Health Service Superannuation Scheme (2008 Section) (Scotland) Regulations 2013 to insert updated employee contribution bands for the scheme year 2020-21. These Regulations also exempt certain pay increases from final pay control charges. This is in respect of the 2011 Regulations and is achieved by regulation 4.
These Regulations also amend the National Health Service Pension Scheme (Scotland) Regulations 2015 (“the 2015 Regulations”) and the National Health Service Superannuation Scheme (Miscellaneous Amendments) (Scotland) Regulations 2017.
The amendments made to the 2015 Regulations include inserting new tables reflecting revised pensionable earnings bands for 2020/21. The amendments to the National Health Service Superannuation Scheme (Miscellaneous Amendments) (Scotland) Regulations 2017 correct some minor drafting errors in those regulations.
