Amendment of the Compensation Regulations16
In regulation 5 of the Compensation Regulations (crediting of additional period of service) after paragraph (13) there shall be inserted the following paragraphs:–
14
For the purposes of paragraph (7)(a) above, where in the case of an entitled officer to whom there is payable a pension under regulation E3 of the National Health Service Pension Scheme Regulations 1995 any part of the service credited under this regulation is service in part-time employment, the compensation payable in relation to that part of that service shall not exceed the relevant amount.
15
In this regulation–
“the relevant amount” means the amount which bears the same proportion to the amount which would have been payable had the service not been part-time as the whole-time equivalent bears to comparable whole time employment; and
“the whole-time equivalent” has the same meaning as in regulation R5 of the National Health Service Pension Scheme Regulations 1995.
