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.
