1
References in this regulation to regulation E14 are references to regulation E14 of the Superannuation Regulations4.
2
This regulation applies while a credited teacher is in employment falling within regulation E14(1)(a) or (b) (“new employment”); but if he is concurrently both in employment falling within regulation E14(1)(a) and in other new employment it applies only in respect of the former.
3
Where this regulation applies—
a
while the assumed retirement pension would fall to be reduced under regulation E14(3), no annual compensation is to be paid, and
b
while sub-paragraph (a) does not apply, the rate of his annual compensation is to be reduced by the excess (if any) of (A+G+H) over (C+D−E) where A, C, D and E are the same as in regulation E4(3) and—
G is the full annual rate of his annual compensation, and
H is the annual rate of the assumed retirement pension.
4
For the purposes of paragraph (3)—
a
regulation E14(3) is in every case to be construed as if the former employment were pensionable employment, and
b
if the credited teacher has more than one entitlement to annual compensation, G comprises his total annual compensation but each component is to be reduced only in the proportion which it bears to that total.
