(i)     if the surplus appears to be of a temporary nature, a recommendation that no action should be taken,

(i)     one-third of the remaining surplus shall without the need for proposals or amendment of the Regulations governing the scheme be applied to a reduction in the rate of contributions payable by the members under the 1989 Existing Members Regulations and the 1989 New Members Regulations (unless the member representatives before the expiry of 9 months from the date the report was laid before the States request the Chief Minister to submit proposals to the States on their behalf to apply that money in whole or in part to an increase to the benefits under the 1989 Existing Members Regulations and the 1989 New Members Regulations), and

(ii)    two-thirds of the remaining surplus shall be applied to a reduction in the rate of contributions payable by the employers under the scheme (otherwise than under Regulation 4A) without the need for proposals or amendment of the Regulations governing the scheme;

(d)     where a deficiency is disclosed such proposals may with the agreement of the Committee (but not to the exclusion of other proposals upon which the Chief Minister and the Committee have by then agreed or shall, within the period of 6 months immediately after the report is laid before the States, agree) consist of –

(i)     if the deficiency appears to be of a temporary nature, a recommendation that no action should be taken, or

(ii)    an increase in the contributions payable by the members under the 1989 Existing Members Regulations and the 1989 New Members Regulations and/or in the contributions payable by the employers to the scheme;

(e)     if a deficiency is disclosed and, within the 6 months immediately after the report is laid before the States, the Committee and the Chief Minister have not agreed on proposals, then after a further period of 3 months –

(i)     the Committee shall reduce or cancel any increase in pensions, deferred pensions and deferred lump sums (including pensions and lump sums determined at normal retiring age under Regulation 5 or 10(4) of the Former Hospital Scheme Regulations which have been deferred owing to the employee remaining in membership beyond normal retiring age) that might otherwise thereafter have been made pursuant to Regulation 11 in the manner recommended in the Actuary’s report in order to eliminate the deficiency as far as possible, and

(ii)    if the Actuary’s report indicates that even after the operation of clause (i) a deficiency is likely to continue to exist, the Chief Minister shall submit proposals to the States for an increase in the contributions payable by the members under the 1989 Existing Members Regulations and the 1989 New Members Regulations and/or in the contributions payable by the employers to the scheme and/or a reduction of other benefits payable under the 1989 Existing Members Regulations and the 1989 New Members Regulations;

(f)     the agreement of the Committee to proposals under sub-paragraphs (b) and (d) shall be supported by a majority of the employer representatives and a majority of the member representatives present.[29]

(4)    If a payment or allowance has been declared by the employer to be a pensionable allowance under Regulation 16 of the Former Hospital Scheme Regulations, Regulation 18 of the 1989 Existing Members Regulations or Regulation 18 of the 1989 New Members Regulations, any adjustment to the employers’ contribution rate arising from the declaration and any additional contributions being paid as a result of the declaration shall be taken into account in the Actuary’s review, whether or not the Regulations have been amended to specify the adjusted rate or additional contributions.[30]

7      Transfers in and out

(1)    If the Treasurer receives in respect of a member any refund paid to the member (other than a refund from the scheme), or if any transfer value is received in respect of the member, under the terms of a policy of a like nature to an annuity, a personal pension scheme or any pension scheme of which that person was previously a member (the “transferring arrangement”) –

(a)     the member shall be entitled to such added years (as defined in the 1989 Existing Members Regulations or the 1989 New Members Regulations) as the Treasurer, on the advice of the Actuary, shall decide;

(b)     in the case of a member to whom the 1967 Regulations apply, the Chief Minister may, on the advice of the Actuary, declare the member to have become a contributory member on such date as the Chief Minister shall decide; or

(c)     in the case of a member to whom the Former Hospital Scheme Regulations apply, the member shall be entitled to such notional period of pensionable service as the Treasurer, on the advice of the Actuary, shall determine,

having regard to the amount of money received by the Treasurer in respect of the person concerned:

Provided that –

(i)     the Chief Minister may, after consulting the Actuary, undertake to the trustees or manager of the transferring arrangement (or others concerned) that the benefits to be provided in respect of the transfer value shall not be less than those specified in relation to guaranteed minimum pensions, for the purposes of the Social Security Pensions Act 1975 of the United Kingdom (or in relation to any other minimum levels of benefits to which the Chief Minister shall have given his or her approval), by the transferring arrangement, and the benefits shall, if necessary to comply with the undertaking, be augmented by virtue of this paragraph;

(ii)    in the case of a United Kingdom transferring arrangement, the Chief Minister shall ascertain whether a refund of the member’s contributions was restricted under the transferring arrangement, and if so a similar restriction shall apply under the scheme to those transferred member’s contributions, and the Chief Minister shall also ensure that the trustees or managers of any arrangement to which those contributions may be subsequently paid under this Regulation undertake to maintain the restriction;

(iii)   the Chief Minister may give such undertakings to the relevant authorities (including taxation authorities) of the United Kingdom or other countries and territories as he or she considers appropriate in connection with refunds and transfer values received under this paragraph;

(iv)   the Chief Minister may make reciprocal arrangements with other pension schemes for transfers of members to and from the scheme, and the benefits to be provided in respect of a transfer value received and a transfer value to be paid shall, if necessary to comply with such arrangements, be augmented by virtue of this paragraph;

(vi)   if added years are determined in accordance with clause (v) and –

(A)    on 1st January 1988 the transferring arrangement participated in a reciprocal arrangement with the Chief Minister under clause (iv), and

(2)    Subject to the provisions of these Regulations, if a member leaves service, the Treasurer may pay to the trustees or managers of a personal pension scheme or a pension scheme in respect of the member, a transfer value of such amount as the Treasurer, on the advice of the Actuary, shall decide.

(3)    If a transfer value is paid pursuant to paragraph (2) no other benefits shall be payable from the scheme in respect of that member.[32]

(b)     transfers into the scheme from the Former Hospital Scheme shall be entitled to benefits, subject to the provisions of these Regulations based on pensionable service as defined, as the case may be, under the 1989 Existing Members Regulations, the 1989 New Members Regulations, or the Former Hospital Scheme Regulations;

(c)     transfers out of the scheme into another pension scheme administered by the States shall be entitled to a transfer value of such amount that the person’s total pensionable service remains unchanged, except that it shall be adjusted by the Actuary to take account of any change in the rate of accrual of benefit.[33]

(5)    Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs (1) to (3), the benefits for and in respect of former members of the Former Hospital Scheme shall be as provided in the 1989 Existing Members Regulations, the 1989 New Members Regulations, the Former Hospital Scheme Regulations and these Regulations and the assets of the Former Hospital Scheme shall be transferred to the scheme in accordance with the provisions of that Scheme.[34]

(iii)   in the interests of efficiency, the Minister to whom is assigned responsibility for the administration of the States in which the member is employed or the employer having certified that the retirement is desirable for that purpose; and

(d)     be eligible for a deferred pension under –

(i)     Regulation 11 of the 1967 Regulations,

(ii)    Regulation 8 of the Former Hospital Scheme Regulations,

(iii)   Regulation 8 of the 1989 Existing Members Regulations, or

(iv)   Regulation 8 of the 1989 New Members Regulations.[36]

(3)    A member who takes voluntary early retirement under this Regulation shall be entitled to receive benefit in accordance with the provisions of this Regulation.

(4)    A member who takes voluntary early retirement under this Regulation shall, on leaving employment on the agreed date, to the date on which a deferred pension becomes payable, or the date of the member’s death if earlier, receive from the fund a payment the annual rate of which shall be equal to the amount of the annual pension entitlement calculated under the provisions of Regulation 11 of the 1967 Regulations or Regulation 8 of the Former Hospital Scheme Regulations or Regulation 8 of the 1989 Existing Members Regulations or Regulation 8 of the 1989 New Members Regulations, as the case may be, the rate so determined being increased to take account of any additional credit for pensionable service granted by the employer when agreeing that the member shall take voluntary early retirement, and the payment being increased year by year in accordance with the provisions of Regulation 11 as if it were a pension in payment.[37]

(5)    When a member to whom this Regulation applies reaches the age at which the deferred pension becomes payable, the provisions of Regulation 11 of the 1967 Regulations or Regulation 8 of the Former Hospital Scheme Regulations or Regulation 8, 13, 14 and 15 of the 1989 Existing Members Regulations or Regulations 8, 13, 14 and 15 of the 1989 New Members Regulations, as the case may be, shall apply, the annual pension entitlement and any lump sum entitlement under the Former Hospital Scheme Regulations being increased to take account of any additional credit for pensionable service granted by the employer and the increase year by year in accordance with Regulation 11, as mentioned in paragraph (4). If a deferred pensioner to whom this Regulation applies dies before the date on which the deferred pension becomes payable, the provisions of Regulation 8 of the 1967 Regulations or Regulation 12 of the Former Hospital Scheme Regulations or Regulation 12 of the 1989 Existing Members Regulations or Regulation 13 of the 1989 New Members Regulations, as the case may be, shall apply, the annual pension entitlement being increased to take account of any additional credit for pensionable service granted by the employer as mentioned in paragraph (4).[38]

(6)    The Actuary shall once a year certify to the Committee the additional cost to the scheme of the operation of this Regulation, calculating it as the difference between the value of the actual benefits granted in respect of each member to whom this Regulation applies and the value of the accrued liabilities in respect of that member, on the basis that the member, if the member survived, would have retired on pension at the age of 61.5 years or the member’s normal retiring age (whichever is the lesser age), ignoring any additional credit for pensionable service granted by the employer as mentioned in paragraph (4) and taking into account inter alia projected increases in the member’s salary up to the date of retirement (or earlier death) and pensionable service completed at the date of leaving service.[39]

(7)    The employer shall on notification thereof by the Committee pay into the fund the whole of the additional cost certified by the Actuary in accordance with paragraph (6).

9      Power to extend application of scheme

(1)(a)     Subject to sub-paragraph (c), an employer who participated in the scheme or the Former Hospital Scheme on the day immediately preceding the appointed day shall thereafter participate in the scheme;

(b)     Subject to sub-paragraph (c) and to paragraph (2), the Chief Minister, on the application of an employer who –

(i)     is a parochial authority,

(ii)    is a statutory undertaking,

(iii)   is a public utility,

(iv)   has replaced a department or part of a department administered by a Minister,

(v)    has otherwise taken over the employment of any employees who are members of the scheme, or

(vi)   not being one of the foregoing satisfies the Chief Minister that persons employed by the employer are employed in work of a nature which might properly be undertaken by a member,

may, after consulting the Committee and the Actuary, admit the employer to the scheme, and admit such of the employees of that employer as the Chief Minister decides to participate in the scheme as members to whom the 1989 New Members Regulations apply, on execution by that employer of a written statement, and written undertaking, in accordance with Regulation 9A and such document or documents as the Chief Minister shall determine;

(c)     Notwithstanding Regulation 6 or any other provisions of the scheme –

(i)     before the Chief Minister admits such persons the Committee shall cause to be obtained from the Actuary a certificate as to the amounts to be contributed to the scheme by the employer,

(ii)    the Actuary shall review any such certificate or any certificate issued under Article 4 of the Law at intervals of not more than 5 years and following each review shall issue a new certificate as to the amounts to be contributed to the scheme,

(iii)   employers admitted under Article 4 of the Law or this Regulation shall exercise their powers under the scheme in consultation with the Chief Minister;

(d)     Any terms of a document executed (whether before or after the insertion of this sub-paragraph in these Regulations) under sub-paragraph (b), except to the extent of any conflict between those terms and the provisions of the Law or of any enactment made under the Law –

(i)     shall, to the extent that they purport to be terms of admission to the scheme of those employers, or those employees, to whom the document applies, be taken to constitute such terms, and

(ii)    shall, to the extent that they purport to prescribe the rights, duties or other functions, or liabilities, of the Chief Minister, the Committee, the Actuary or the Treasurer, or of the employer, or the employees, to whom the document applies, determine those rights, duties or other functions, or liabilities, in respect of the admission, the admitted employers, the admitted employees, or the scheme as constituted after the admission.[40]

(1A)      The amounts to be contributed to the scheme by a person who is the employer (as referred to in paragraph (1)) may include (but are not restricted to) such amounts as the Actuary may determine as being reasonably attributable to the person in respect of the capitalized value from time to time of the debt transferred to the scheme when the scheme was amended with effect from 1st January 1988 –

(a)     in the case of an amount certified in accordance with paragraph (1)(c)(i) or (ii), whether or not the person was in existence before that date; and

(b)     in the case of an amount certified in accordance with paragraph (1)(c)(ii), whether the person was admitted as an employer to the scheme before or after the date on which this paragraph came into force and whether or not the person is for the time being an admitted employer.[41]

(2)    If –

(a)     an employer who has replaced a department or part of a department administered by a Minister applies, under paragraph (1)(b), for admission to participate in the scheme and for the admission of employees to participate in the scheme; or

(b)     an employer who has otherwise taken over the employment of any employees who are members of the scheme applies under paragraph (1)(b) for the employer’s admission to participate in the scheme and for their admission to participate in the scheme, and the Chief Minister in consultation with the Committee decides that the manner in which their employment has been taken over is a justifiable reason for this paragraph to apply,

the following provisions shall apply to such of those employees as were employed by that employer on the effective date of the application and were members of the scheme immediately before the replacement or taking over –

(i)     notwithstanding the requirement in paragraph (1)(b) that employees are to be admitted under that sub-paragraph to participate in the scheme as members to whom the 1989 New Members Regulations apply, those employees shall be admitted under paragraph (1)(b) as members under the Regulations that applied to them immediately before the replacement or taking over;

(ii)    they shall for the purposes of the Law be deemed to have been employed, by the employer making the application, immediately before the replacement or taking over; and

(iii)   accordingly, the re-admission provisions in the Regulations that so applied to them shall not, by reason only of the replacement or taking over, be applicable to them.[42]

(3)    In paragraph (2), “the effective date of the application” means the date on which it is made, or such other date as may be agreed between the employer and the Chief Minister, after the latter has consulted the Committee.[43]

(4)    An employer other than the States or the States Employment Board may give 6 months’ notice to the Committee that some of the employees in the employment of the employer (or the employer and all of the employees in the employment of the employer who participate in the scheme) shall cease to participate in the scheme and the Chief Minister may (if the Committee agrees after the Committee has obtained the advice of the Actuary) give such an employer 6 months’ notice to like effect. When such notice has expired, the Committee shall arrange for such part of the assets of the scheme as are certified by the Actuary to be appropriate to be set aside and disposed of for the benefit of those employees –

(a)     if the employer so requests, and subject to paragraph (5) and to the Committee’s being satisfied that the terms of the transfer are equitable in all the circumstances, by transferring to a pension scheme of that employer such part of the assets of the scheme as in the opinion of the Actuary relates to any of those employees who becomes a member of such a pension scheme; or

(b)     in respect of any of the employees for whom no such transfer is made –

(i)     if the employee so requests by a date to be specified by the Committee, by purchasing, in accordance with paragraph (6), from an insurance company or insurance office of good repute, annuities for the purpose of satisfying any pension or other benefits which may in the future become payable under the scheme by virtue of the employee’s membership,

(ii)    if the employee so requests by a date to be specified by the Committee, by paying a transfer value to the trustees or managers of a pension scheme or personal pension scheme, or

(iii)   if the employee has not made a request referred to in clause (i) or (ii), by granting an entitlement to a deferred pension as referred to in such Regulations under the Law as applied to the employee immediately before the expiry of the notice under this paragraph, subject to such adjustment (if any) as the Actuary thinks fit on taking into account the value of the part of the assets certified by the Actuary as referred to earlier.[44]

(5)    If an employee becomes (as referred to in paragraph (4)(a)) a member of an employer’s pension scheme –

(a)     a transfer of assets referred to in paragraph (4)(a) shall not be made in respect of the employee unless the employee so requests by a date to be specified by the Committee; and

(b)     nothing in paragraph (4)(a) prevents the application of paragraph (4)(b) to an employee who becomes (as referred to in paragraph (4)(a)) a member of an employer’s pension scheme if in fact no transfer of assets is made under paragraph (4)(a) in respect of the employee.[45]

(6)    Where pursuant to paragraph (4) annuities are to be purchased –

(a)     any increases on pensions in payment and on deferred pensions shall (instead of being as provided by Regulation 11) be as determined by the Committee on the advice of the Actuary, having regard to the proportion of the assets of the scheme which are set aside; and

(b)     any annuity so purchased shall be purchased in the name of the employee or in the name of a trustee or trustees for the employee’s benefit.[46]

(7)    No person on whose behalf an annuity is purchased or a transfer value is paid under this Regulation shall thereafter have any claim on, or interest in, the scheme.[47]

(8)    Before the Actuary gives a certificate referred to in paragraph (4), he shall issue a certificate stating the termination contribution.[48]

(9)    The employer shall pay the amount of the termination contribution to the assets of the scheme before the expiry of the 6 months’ notice period referred to in paragraph (4) and that amount shall be included in the part of the assets certified under that paragraph.[49]

(10)  For the purposes of this Regulation, the termination contribution shall be –

(a)     the past service liabilities of the scheme attributable to the employees who are to cease to participate in the scheme; minus

(b)     the part of the assets that would be appropriate to be set aside and disposed of in accordance with paragraph (4) if no amount were paid to those assets under paragraph (9),

but shall be zero if that part of the assets exceeds those past service liabilities.[50]

(11)  The past service liabilities shall be calculated on the actuarial assumptions used for the most recent report of which a copy has been laid before the States in accordance with Article 3(5) of the Law, and shall include allowances for projected salary and pension increases made in accordance with those assumptions.[51]

(12)  If any part of a termination contribution is not paid by the employer, the Committee is not required under paragraph (4) to dispose of assets corresponding to the part that remains unpaid.[52]

(13)  Paragraphs (8) to (12) shall apply only in a case where a document referred to in paragraph (1)(b) states that those paragraphs shall apply to the employer who executed the document.[53]

9A      Undertakings concerning admission to scheme[54]

(1)    A person who as an employer makes an application referred to in Regulation 9(1)(b) shall, having regard to the relevant certificate obtained from the Actuary under Regulation 9(1)(c)(i), provide the Chief Minister with a written statement that the person acknowledges that, if the application is accepted, the contributions certified by the Actuary as payable from time to time to the scheme will be due from the person and will be recoverable as a civil debt due to the Committee.

10    Alteration of scheme

A recommendation by the Committee to the States (through the Chief Minister) that the Regulations governing the scheme shall be altered or repealed or that new Regulations should be made to the exclusion of or in addition to all or any of the existing Regulations shall be supported by a majority of the employer representatives and a majority of the member representatives present.

11    Pension increases

All pensions in payment from the scheme and all deferred pensions and deferred lump sums (including pensions and lump sums determined at normal retiring age under Regulation 5 or 10(4) of the Former Hospital Scheme Regulations which have been deferred owing to the employee remaining in membership beyond normal retiring age) shall be reviewed annually in January by the Committee and shall be increased to the same extent as the increase in the Jersey Cost of Living Index at the end of the previous year:

Provided that –

(i)     a pension which came into payment during the previous year or a deferred pension entitlement (and any corresponding deferred lump sum entitlement under the Former Hospital Scheme Regulations) which came into existence during the previous year shall be increased only by 1/365 of the full annual rate for each day of payment or entitlement,

(ii)    where a deficiency has been disclosed by an actuarial review the increase in pensions in payment and deferred pensions (and any corresponding deferred lump sum entitlement under the Former Hospital Scheme Regulations) shall, if appropriate, be reduced or cancelled as provided in Regulation 6(3)(e),

(iii)   where a reduction and/or cancellation has taken place under proviso (ii), the Committee shall apply any money available under Regulation 6(3)(a) in or towards making good the loss of any individual pensioner or deferred pensioner still alive caused by such reduction or cancellation within the 6 years preceding the date of that determination.[57]

12    Accounts and records

13    Delegation

Subject to Regulation 5(2), the Committee may delegate to any person, firm or corporate body all or any of the powers, authorities or discretion vested in it under the scheme on such terms as to remuneration or otherwise as the Committee shall agree. The Committee may also revoke any delegation made under this Regulation.

14    Persons incapable of acting

If a member, deferred pensioner or pensioner to whom a benefit is payable under these Regulations by virtue of the member’s participation in the scheme is, in the opinion of the Committee, suffering from any physical or other incapacity rendering the member unable to manage the member’s affairs or to give a proper receipt of such benefit, it may at its discretion pay the same to any of the member’s relatives or dependants or to any institution to be applied for the member’s benefit, and the receipt of any such person or institution shall be a complete discharge to the Committee for the money paid and it shall be under no liability to see to the application thereof.

15    Tax deductions

The Treasurer shall deduct from any payment of benefit under the scheme any tax for which the Treasurer or the scheme may be liable in respect of that payment.

Where representation has not been taken out, and any sums payable by the Committee to a personal representative do not exceed in total £5,000 (or such higher amount as the Minister for Treasury and Resources may by Act direct) the Committee may pay the sum to the person whom it is satisfied is entitled to a grant of representation. A receipt given by such a person shall be a valid discharge as though it had been given by the personal representative.

17    Change of duties

In the case of a member who changed the member’s duties while remaining in employment or on rejoining the scheme so that the member became or ceased to be a category A or category B member (as defined in the 1989 Existing Members Regulations or the 1989 New Members Regulations) or a category C member (as defined in the 1989 New Members Regulations) or a member to whom Regulation 17, 18, 19, 20 or 20A of the 1967 Regulations applies or a member to whom Regulation 18 of the Former Hospital Scheme Regulations applies, the benefits payable to and in respect of the member from the scheme shall be determined, notwithstanding the other provisions of these Regulations and such other Regulations governing the scheme as are applicable to the member, on the basis that the member’s pensionable service (or, in the case of 1967 Regulations, service) in respect of the member’s previous duties shall be adjusted by the Actuary to take into account the change in the rate of accrual of benefit.[59]
