EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations contain permitted exceptions to a sex equality rule provided for by sections 67-71 of the Equality Act 2010 (“the Equality Act”).
Sections 67-71 of the Equality Act supersede an equal treatment rule provided for by sections 62-66 of the Pensions Act 1995, now repealed. Exceptions to that equal treatment rule were contained in regulations 13-15 of the Occupational Pension Schemes (Equal Treatment) Regulations 1995 (S.I. 1995/3183) (“the Equal Treatment Regulations”), now repealed. The exceptions contained in the Equal Treatment Regulations are replaced by the provisions in these Regulations.
Regulation 3 concerns bridging pensions which are paid to men before they reach state pension age. Regulation 4 concerns indexation paid with a member’s pension equivalent to the payments to which a person of the opposite sex would be entitled as part of the State additional pension. Regulation 5 concerns the use of actuarial factors which differ for men and women in relation to the calculation of employers’ contributions in certain circumstances and the provision of certain benefits.
