Pensions Regulations

[CAP. 89

A 19

(5D) The date of exercise of the option by an officer shall be deemed to be the date of the receipt of his written notification addressed to the Director of Accounting Services.

(6) No annual allowance may be granted under this regulation to any officer in an established office in excess of the pension which might have been granted had that officer been a pensionable officer in the office held by him, with the same service.

(7) No period during which a non-pensionable officer shall have been absent from duty on leave without salary shall be taken into account for the purpose of computing the period of service in respect of which an annual allowance or gratuity may be granted under these regulations:

Provided that such period of leave shall not be deemed to constitute a break in service.

(8) Every monthly paid non-pensionable officer serving under the Government who retires on any of the conditions stated in paragraph (4) (b), (bb), (c), (cc) and (d) and who on his retirement has not completed 10 years unbroken service may be granted by the Governor a gratuity not exceeding 7 times the annual allowance which if there has been no qualifying period might have been granted to him under this regulation.

(8A) Where a non-pensionable female officer who-

(a) has, prior to 17 November 1972, retired from the service by reason of her marriage; and

(b) has not, upon retirement, received a marriage gratuity under these regulations,

is without break in service subsequently re-employed in the service under the Government, the period of service prior to such retirement shall be taken into account for the purpose of computing the period of service in respect of which an annual allowance or gratuity may be granted under these regulations.

(9) In the case of an officer who retires under paragraph (4)(c) and whose period of service under the Government is-

(a) not less than 5 nor more than 20 years; or

(b) more than 20 years but whose period of service to be taken into account in computing an award under paragraph (1) is less than 20 years,

for the purposes of paragraph (1) or paragraph (8) his period of service to be taken into account in computing an award under paragraph (1) shall be deemed to be-

(i) twice his actual period of service to be taken into account in computing an award under paragraph (1) (subject to a maximum of 20 years); or

(ii) the period of service to be taken into account in computing an award under paragraph (1) that he would have completed if he had served until attaining the age of 55 years, whichever is the lesser.
