The Federated Superannuation System for Universities (Temporary Service) Regulations 1949

4.—(1) Subject to the provisions of these Regulations a Department may, in the case of any officer to whom these Regulations apply and who, at the time he became employed in the Civil Service of the State as mentioned in Regulation 3 hereof was serving the State as a temporary servant, make a payment (hereinafter referred to as “the temporary service contribution”) for the benefit of such officer in manner hereinafter provided.

(2) The temporary service contribution shall, subject to the provisions of the next succeeding paragraph, be a sum which shall be calculated in the following manner:—

(a) There shall be determined by the Treasury—

(i) as respects each emolument period of the officer's continuous temporary service which expires on or before the 13th July, 1949, the sum which is equivalent to 5 per cent. of the salary and emoluments received by him in that period, and

(ii) as respects each emolument period of the officer's continuous temporary service which commences on the 14th July, 1949, the sum which is equivalent to 10 per cent. of the salary and emoluments received by him in that period.

The sum determined as aforesaid in respect of each emolument period is referred to in this Regulation as “the annual contribution”.

(b) There shall be further determined by the Treasury in respect of each annual contribution, the sum (in this Regulation referred to as “the interest addition”) which is equivalent to compound interest at the rate of 3 per cent. per annum, with annual stops, on that annual contribution, from the end of the emolument period in respect of which it was determined until the date when the temporary service contribution is applied in manner provided by paragraph (5) of this Regulation.

(c) The temporary service contribution shall, subject to the provisions of the next succeeding paragraph, be a sum equivalent to the aggregate of the annual contributions and the interest additions determined in respect of the total period of the officer's continuous temporary service.

(d) In this Regulation—

(i) the expression “emolument period of the officer's continuous temporary service which expires on or before the 13th July, 1949” means the period (if it is, or is shorter than, twelve months) from the date of the commencement of that service, or from the 1st January, 1919, whichever is the later, until the 13th July, 1949, or, if the said period is longer than twelve months, each succeeding twelve months thereof, and shall include any period which is shorter than twelve months and which elapses between the expiration of the last such period of twelve months and the 13th July, 1949;

(ii) the expression “emolument period of the officer's continuous temporary service which commences on the 14th July, 1949” means the period (if it is, or is shorter than, twelve months) from the 14th July, 1949 until the date when the officer becomes employed as mentioned in Regulation 3 hereof, or, if the said period is longer than twelve months, each succeeding twelve months thereof, and shall include any period which is shorter than twelve months and which elapses between the expiration of the last such period of twelve months and the date when the officer becomes employed as aforesaid.

(3) For the purpose of determining the temporary service contribution, no account shall be taken

(a) of any payment made to the officer by way of war bonus prior to the 1st day of July, 1944, or(1)

(b) of any salary and emoluments received by him during any period of temporary service during which he was subject to any superannuation scheme, or

(c) of any period for which he served before attaining the age of 18 years.

(4) Where the continuous temporary service of the officer has been interrupted or terminated by war circumstances in order that he might be engaged in recognised employment the time during the war period during which he was in recognised employment shall be treated for the purposes of the foregoing paragraph(a) as if he had remained in temporary service for that time at the remuneration he would have been receiving if he had not left that service.

(5) The temporary service contribution shall (together with any sum not exceeding one half thereof which the officer may elect to pay to the Department for that purpose) be applied by the Department in such manner as may be provided in the superannuation scheme operated under the Federated Superannuation System for Universities to which the officer is subject for the application of contributions paid under that scheme PROVIDED that in the case of any officer who has himself made payments in respect of any part of respect of premiums payable under any policy of insurance issued in pursuance of the Federated Superannuation System for Universities or in respect of sums to be invested in pursuance thereof, the Department may, instead of applying the temporary service contribution in manner aforesaid, apply the whole or any part thereof in or towards refunding to the officer the amount of such payments made by him.
