Payment of contributions where remuneration is reduced

22.—(1) Notwithstanding anything in article 21, section 6(5) of the Act of 1937 (which relates to the payment of superannuation contributions on the reduction or discontinuance of remuneration) shall apply to any transferred employee or other employee of a local authority who on or after 1st April 1965 suffers a reduction of remuneration which is attributable to anything done by or under the Act or any instrument (including any agreement made under section 24(7)) made under the Act:

Provided that the said section 6(5) shall so apply only so long as the employee continues without a break of 12 months or more in the employment in which he suffered the reduction of remuneration, whether in the same post or in some other post.

(2) Where under section 6(5) of the Act of 1937 as applied by the last foregoing paragraph an employee pays contributions to a superannuation fund as if his remuneration had not been reduced, he shall be deemed, for the purposes of regulation 3(1) of the Local Government Superannuation (Benefits) Regulations 1954, proviso (b) to section 8(5) of the Act of 1937, or any corresponding provision applicable to him under article 21, to have received the remuneration which he would have received but for the reduction.

(3) In calculating for the purposes of paragraph (1) or (2) of this article whether, or the amount by which, an employee's remuneration has been reduced, no account shall be taken of any increase or decrease in the amount of the employee's remuneration which is attributable to any sum paid or reduction made under article 4 of the Interim Action Order or of any increase in such amount which is attributable to any temporary allowance granted in consequence of the Act and otherwise than in the ordinary course of his employment.
