Pensions Regulations
[CAP. 89
(b) any period of service while he was on agreement expressly providing for the payment of a gratuity dependent upon the length of his service or on agreement on monthly terms not providing for payment of a gratuity or while he was on probation, unless without break of service he is confirmed in an established office in the public service and, if on agreement providing for the payment of such a gratuity, has repaid the gratuity (if any) received in respect of that period; or
(c) any period during which an officer shall have been absent from duty on leave without salary unless such leave shall have been granted on grounds of public policy with the approval of the Governor:
(d) [Deleted, 36 of 1987, s. 49]
Provided that any break of service which may be disregarded under the provisions of regulation 15 may likewise be disregarded in determining whether the officer is confirmed in an established office without break of service.
22. If an officer holding an established office and who has been confirmed therein retires from the public service in consequence of the abolition of his office or for the purpose of facilitating improvements in the organization of the department to which he belongs, by which greater efficiency or economy may be effected-
(a) he may, if he has been in the public service for less than 10 years, be granted in lieu of any gratuity under regulation 5 or 12, a pension under regulation 4, 9, 10 or 11, as the case may be, as if the words "for 10 years or more" were omitted from regulation 4;
(b) he may, if he retires from the service under the Government, be granted an additional pension at the annual rate of one-sixtieth of his pensionable emoluments for each complete period of 3 years' pensionable service:
Provided that-
(i) the addition shall not exceed ten-sixtieths; and
(ii) the addition together with the remainder of the officer's pension shall not exceed the pension for which he would have been eligible if he had continued to hold the office held by him at the date of his retirement and retired on reaching the age at which he is normally required to retire under the provisions of section 8 of the Ordinance, having received all increments for which he would have been eligible by that date.
23. (1) Subject to paragraph (7), an officer to whom a pension is granted under the Ordinance shall, if he has exercised his option as hereinafter provided, but not otherwise, be paid in lieu of such pension a pension at the rate of 75, 80, 85, 90 or 95 per cent of such pension, respectively, as he shall have exercised his option, together with a gratuity equal to 14 times the amount of the annual reduction so made in the pension.
