SECTION 3: SERVICE
|
Reckonable service
|
| 3.06 |
"Reckonable service" means service which reckons
towards benefits under this Scheme. Subject to Rule 3.07 and to Rules 4.50
to 4.56, it is calculated:
|
| |
(a) |
in the same way as qualifying service is calculated under
Rule 3.02, except that:
|
| |
|
(i) |
part-time service before 1 June 1972 reckons at half its length;
|
| |
|
(ii) |
part-time service on or after 1 June 1972 reckons at its full
length multiplied by the proportion which the part-time hours bear to full-time
hours (excluding meal breaks, except where such breaks are paid for part-time
staff);
|
| |
|
(iii) |
save for the purpose of Rule 4.05 (pensionable final earnings)
service is excluded for which contributions are not required in accordance
with Rule 2.04;
|
| |
|
(iv) |
a back service credit may, in accordance with Rules 9.18(3)
to 9.21, provide shorter reckonable service than qualifying service;
|
| |
|
(v) |
in the case of a former non industrial scheme member, qualifying
service specified in Rule 3.02(v) shall not reckon except as provided in
paragraph 20 of Appendix 4;
|
| |
(b) |
by adding any period of increase for service in unhealthy
places as provided under Rule 3.08 and in the case of a former non industrial
scheme member any number of added years purchased under Former Rule 4 (which
years do not count as qualifying service).
|
Maximum reckonable service
|
In all cases reckonable service is counted in years and fractions
of a year, with each day after a whole number of years counting as 1/365th
of a further year.
|
Service in unhealthy places
|
| 3.07 |
Subject to Rule 3.17(3)(ii) and except for the purposes of
Rules 4.05, 4.06, 6.07(i)(a), 6.07(ii)(a), 6.43(A)(i)(c), and 6.43(A)(ii)(a)
reckonable service may not exceed 40 years by the retiring age or 45 years
in total.
|
| 3.08 |
Where before 1 October 1973 (or, in the case of a former non
industrial scheme member 1 November 1972) a member has served or begun to
serve any period of employment outside the United Kingdom in any place which,
in the opinion of the Authority, was detrimental to physical or mental health,
that period shall for the purpose of computing his reckonable service (but
not his qualifying service) be increased by one-half.
