SECTION 4: AGE RETIREMENT BENEFITS
  

Revised benefits to be instead of other benefits
  

4.57 Any superannuation award made in accordance with Rule 4.50, 4.52, 4.53, or 4.54 shall be instead of any corresponding award which might otherwise have become due under the Rules in relation to the re-employment.
  
Contributions during re-employment
  
4.58 Sections 2 and 6 apply to a re-employed member in the same way as to other members, with the following modifications:
  
  (i) If Rule 4.50 applies to him, periodical contributions will not be required for more than the first 5 years of reckonable service during the re-employment to which the Rule applies (except periodical contributions under Rule 2.02 in respect of service on or after 6 April 1978); and periodical contributions under Rules 2.02, 2.06, 6.52 and 6.53 will be calculated on his pensionable final earnings at his earlier retirement or cessation of employment, if that is greater than his current full-time pensionable earnings. This basis of calculation will also be applied to periodical contributions under Rule 2.01 if Rule 4.05(i) applies. Where there is part-time service during re-employment, the contributions to which this paragraph applies will be based on the greater of the said pensionable final earnings or current full-time pensionable earnings and calculated on a pro-rata basis according to the number of hours worked. The limit of 15 % in Rule 2.09 will, however, always be based upon his current pensionable earnings. (If he begins re-employment more than once in the circumstances specified in Rule 4.50, the reference in this paragraph to his earlier retirement or cessation of employment will be taken as a reference to his first retirement or cessation of employment.)
  
  (ii) If Rule 4.50, 4.51, 4.52(i), or 4.54(i) is applied to him, then for the purposes of Section 6 (family benefits):
  
    (a) his pensionable final earnings will be calculated on the same basis as for his own pension award;
  
    (b) any calculation of reckonable service prior to the 6 April 1978 for the purposes of Rules 6.04 and 6.07 will be on the same basis as that for his own pension award, or, if he dies in service, on the same basis on which his own pension would have been calculated if he had retired on medical grounds at the date of his death;
  
    (c) the calculation of balances of contributions or refunds of contributions will be adjusted to take account of any such contributions or refunds paid at his earlier retirement or cessation of employment.
  
  (iii) If he opted for two separate awards under Rule 4.52(ii), 4.53(ii) or 4.54(ii), his two periods of service will similarly be treated separately for the purposes of Section 6; except that sub-paragraph (ii) of this Rule will apply if on final retirement or cessation of employment his earlier pension is restored in full under Rule 4.52, with no account taken of service during re-employment.
  
  (iv) If Rule 4.51(c) is applied to him or if his earlier pension is restored in full under Rule 4.52, with no account taken of service during re-employment he shall be entitled to a return of basic contributions in respect of contributions paid during the re-employment.
