Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend the Local Government (Compensation for Premature Retirement) Regulations 1982 (“the 1982 Regulations”), which allow employers to compensate in certain cases persons who are pensionable under the Local Government Superannuation Regulations 1986 (“the Superannuation Regulations”) and who have ceased their employment through redundancy or in the interests of the efficiency of their employing authorities, by the award of additional years of service.

Regulation 2 amends regulation 4 of the 1982 Regulations so that people with certain additional duties or separate employments who are treated under regulation B5 or B6 of the Superannuation Regulations as having separate employing bodies and consequently, separate pension entitlements, are similarly treated for compensation purposes. Regulation 2 is, by virtue of section 24(3) of the Superannuation Act 1972, made retrospective to 19th December 1989.
