SECTION 2: MEMBERS’ PERIODICAL CONTRIBUTIONS FROM PENSIONABLE
EARNINGS
|
Contributions for periods of absence
|
Contributions for absence without pay or at pension
rate of pay
|
| 2.10 |
A member shall not be required to pay periodical contributions
in respect of any period (including a period of National Service in the
case of a former non industrial scheme member) when he is absent from duty
without pay or on sick leave on terms which provide that his pay shall equal
the amount of the pension he would receive under the Scheme if he had retired
on grounds of ill-health, provided that a member who is allowed under Rule
3.12 or the proviso to Rule 3.09 to count his absence as qualifying and
reckonable service shall pay such contributions as the Authority may require,
having regard to the Rules and including where appropriate any amounts to
be credited to the Superannuation Account which would normally be paid on
account of the member by his employer under Rule 11.03(b); and, for the
purposes of the Rules, his pensionable earnings during any such absence
shall be deemed to be such an amount as the Authority may determine.
|
For other absences
|
| 2.11 |
In respect of any period when a member is absent on leave
on full pay (or when he is deemed to be on full pay under Rule 3.10) or
on sick leave on full or half pay or on leave in any other circumstances
to which Rule 2.10 does not apply, he shall pay periodical contributions
in accordance with the Rules on the full pensionable earnings which would
be payable to him were he not absent; provided that:
|
| |
(i) |
during any period of sick leave on half pay, a member shall
be required to pay only half the contributions he would pay if he were in
receipt of his full pensionable earnings except that any reduction under
Rule 2.15 shall be made in full;
|
| |
(ii) |
in a case to which Rule 3.10 applies, the contributions due
for deduction from pensionable earnings shall be deducted from any balance
of pensionable earnings or in so far as that may be insufficient for the
purpose collected either direct from the member or by deduction from prospective
benefits under the Scheme, on such terms and under such arrangements as
the Authority may determine, having regard to the advice of the Actuary.
