CHAPTER II TERMINATION OF SERVICE
CATEGORY A OFFICERS
Normal retirement (see also, in the case of an overseas officer, CSRR 1355(1) and 1360).
(Note:
(4)
This section does not apply to Judges of the Supreme Court or District Judges on the Old Pension Scheme or Judicial Officers on the New Pension Scheme, for whom special rules are laid down.)
Under Section 8 of the Pensions Ordinance, Cap. 89, the normal age of retirement of Category A officers is 55 years. Under Section 10 of the Pension Benefits Ordinance Cap. 99, retirement age means
(a) for disciplined services staff, the age
prescribed by
Heads of Disciplined Services by notice in the Gazette; and
(b) for other staff, the age of 60.
Serving officers appointed before 1 July 1987 and who opted to join the New Pension Scheme may retire on or after attaining the age of 55 years.
The Governor's approval is required for an officer to continue in the service after the stated retirement age.
A retiring officer will remain on duty up to and including the day before reaching retirement age, and commence leave due to him on attaining that age, unless he signifies under paragraph (5) below that he wishes to cease duty on such a date before his retirement age as will cause his last day of pre-retirement leave to fall on the date immediately prior to his attaining normal retirement age or thereafter.
Departments should ensure that when it is not intended to recommend that an officer's service be retained beyond the normal retirement age the officer gives due notice of his impending retirement as in paragrpah (5) below, and begins his pre-retirement leave at the appropriate date.
The following periods of notice, exclusive of pre-retirement leave, are required from officers intending to retire at the normal retirement age
(a) Rank and File in Disciplined Services, other than
Police, six calendar months;
(b) Police Rank and File, one calendar month;
(c)
Officers in receipt of salary below point 14 of the Master Pay Scale, or equivalent, six calendar months; and
