HMOCS: REMAINING POLICY ISSUES ON OFFICERS
TRANSFERRING FROM CONTRACT TO PENSIONABLE SERVICE AND TO
HMOCS STATUS
Problem
1. A number of issues need to be resolved about contract
officers who have recently transferred or will soon transfer to (pensionable and) HMOCS status.
Recommendation
2.
I recommend that we should:
(a) take a pragmatic view of bought back service and not try to discount it in any compensation scheme;
(b) set 31 January 1993 as the final date for officers actually to apply for membership of HMOCS;
(c) give officers six months from 31 January 1993 in which
to buy back service;
