No. 13.
1. Where a public Officer has been permanently injured-
(a) in the actual discharge of his duty; and
(b) without his own default; and
(c) by some injury specifically attributable to the nature of his duty; and his retirement is thereby necessitated or materially accelerated, an annual allowance may be granted to him in addition to any pension which he may be awarded, not exceeding the undermentioned portion of his salary and emoluments at the date of injury, viz.:-
When his capacity to contribute to his support is---
Slightly impaired, ...Five-sixtieths.
Impaired, ...Ten-sixtieths.
Materially impaired, ...Fifteen-sixtieths.
Totally destroyed, ...Twenty-sixtieths.
Provided that no such allowance shall together with the pension exceed fifty-sixtieths of his salary and emoluments at the date of the injury.
2. Such allowance shall be less than the above-mentioned maximum by such amount as the Governor in Council, subject to the approval of the Secretary of State, shall think reasonable in the following cases:--
(a) Where the injured man has continued to serve for not less than one year after the injury in respect of which he retires;
(b) Where the injured man is fifty (50) years of age or upwards at the date of the injury; or
(c) Where the injury is not the sole cause of retirement, i.e., the retirement is caused partly by age or infirmity.
3. When the public Officer so injured has less than ten years' service and is not entitled to an ordinary pension, he may receive in lieu thereof a gratuity or an annual allowance of so many sixtieths as the years he has actually served, in addition to the number of sixtieths that may be awarded to him under paragraphs (1) and (2) of this clause.
2. Subject as aforesaid, every public Officer (other than a Judge of the Supreme Court) who, having been in the service of the Crown elsewhere than in the Colony, is transferred to the Fixed Establishment of the Colony, and who in respect of his aggregate service in the Colony and elsewhere might have been awarded, had it been wholly in the Colony, a pension or retiring allowance under this Minute, may, on his retirement from the service of the Colony, if he at the same time retires from the service of the Crown, and if he had served for a period of at least twelve months in the Colony, be awarded a pension at the rate of one seven-hundred-and-twentieth of the amount of his annual salary at the date of such retirement for each calendar month of his service in the Colony, and in every such case, there may be added, at the discretion of the Governor in Council, in computing the period of the retiring Officer's service in the Colony, a number of months not exceeding-
(a) One-third of the aggregate of his service elsewhere than in the Colony; nor
(b) Two-thirds of his service in the Colony; nor
(c) In any case eighty-four months.
3. Subject as aforesaid, every Judge of the Supreme Court who is transferred to or from the service of the Colony from or to other service under the Crown and is not entitled to a pension under clause 2 of these Regulations shall, if his aggregate service under the Crown would have entitled him to a pension under that clause, be entitled on his ultimate retirement to a pension at the rate of one seven-hundred-and-twentieths of the amount of his annual salary at the date of his retirement (if he ultimately retires as a Judge of the Supreme Court of this Colony) or at the date of his being so transferred from the service of this Colony for each month of service as a Judge in this Colony, together with a pension for his service in any other capacity in this Colony calculated as under paragraphs (1) or (2) of this clause.
No. 14.
1. Subject to the provisions of this Minute, every public Officer (other than a Judge of the Supreme Court) who, having been borne on the Fixed Establishment of the Colony for a period of at least twelve calendar months, leaves the service of the Colony for a service under the Crown elsewhere than in the Colony, and who in respect of his aggregate service in the Colony and elsewhere might have been awarded, had it been wholly in the Colony, a pension or retiring allowance under this Minute, may, on his ultimate retirement from the service of the Crown, be awarded a pension at the rate of one seven-hundred-and-twentieth of the amount of his annual salary at the date of his so leaving the service of the Colony for each calendar month of his service in the Colony, and in calculating his service in the Colony, an addition may be made thereto which shall bear a like proportion to five years as his service in the Colony bears to the whole period of his employment in tropical climates; provided that no such addition shall be made unless such Officer has been employed for ten years in all in tropical climates; and a further addition to his total public service may be made in respect of the grant, if any, allowable under clause 1, paragraph 2; provided also that such additions shall in no case be greater than would make his total service under the Crown forty years.
4. Subject as aforesaid, every Officer (other than a Judge of the Supreme Court) who is transferred to or from the service of the Colony from or to the service of the Straits Settlements or of a Ruler of any Native State in the Malay Peninsula which is or was, while such Officer served there, under the protection of the British Government and administered by an Officer appointed by the Governor of the Straits Settlements, and whose aggregate service in the Colony and in the Straits Settlements or such Native State or States would have entitled him to a pension on his retirement from service, if he has served for a period of at least twelve months in the Colony, may be awarded a pension of such an amount as shall bear the same proportion to the amount of pension to which he would have been entitled had his service been wholly in the Colony, as the aggregate amount of the salary drawn by him from the Colonial Treasury during his service aforesaid and the aggregate amount of the salary drawn by him from the Treasury or Treasuries of the Straits Settlements or any such Native State or States during his service therein: Provided always that such transfer was made with the approval of the Governor in Council, and that the salary so drawn by him whilst in the service of any such Native State or Ruler was fixed with the approval of the Governor of the Straits Settlements.
No. 15.
Case of an Officer on the Temporary Establishment whose salary does not exceed $240 per annum, or of an Officer paid out of an open vote who is not on either the Fixed or Temporary Establishment of the Colony, a compassionate allowance may be granted as under clause 1, paragraph 2, but such compassionate allowance shall not exceed three-fourths of the pension which might have been awarded to him had he been employed on the Fixed Establishment; provided that when an Officer has been transferred from the Fixed to the Temporary Establishment, he shall be entitled, either (1) to count his service on the Temporary Establishment as though it were service on the Fixed Establishment, at the salary which he received immediately prior to such transfer, or (2) to count his service on the Fixed Establishment as though it were service on the Temporary Establishment, and to take the benefit of this clause accordingly.
No. 16.
Allowance to Officers who have served fifteen years on the temporary establishment.
If any pensioner under this Minute is appointed to an office under the Crown, either in the Colony or elsewhere, then, during his tenure of such office, so much only (if any) of his pension or compensation allowance shall be paid to him as, with the emoluments of such office, makes up an amount equal to the emoluments of the office which he held at the date of the grant of his pension or compensation allowance.
No. 17.
Pension may be capitalised.
In lieu of any pension or compassionate allowance granted under this Minute, there may be paid to an Officer, with the approval of the Secretary of State, a capital sum equal to five years' payments of such pension or compassionate allowance, but no such capital sum shall ordinarily be paid in the case of retirement on the ground of ill-health.
