§
Non-contributing service shall he reckoned for determining whether an officer or servant is entitled to a superannuation allowance under this Act, and in calculating the superannuation allowance of any officer or servant who is so entitled, his allowance in respect of his non-contributing service shall be at the rate of one one-hundred-and-twentieth (or in the case in which the local authority by special resolution so decide at such rate as the local authority may determine. not exceeding the rate of one-sixtieth) of the average amount of his salary or wages for the last five years of his service or aggregate service in respect of each year (not exceeding forty years) of his service or aggregate service, and in reckoning the non-contributing service of any officer or servant any portion of a year during which such officer or servant has served for more than six months shall be reckoned as a year:
Provided that the amount of ally superannuation allowance granted in respect of noncontributing service so far as it exceeds one-hundred-and-twentieth of such average amount as aforesaid in respect of each year of service or aggregate service, shall not be paid out of the superannuation fund but shall be chargeable upon the same rates and revenues as those upon which the salary or wages of the officer or servant to whom the allowance is granted are charged.
§ Amendments made:
§ Leave out the words "or aggregate service" ["not exceeding forty years of his service or aggregate service'].
§ Leave out the words "or aggregate service" ["in respect of each year of service or aggregate service"].—[Sir A. Mond.]
Sir H. WELDI beg to move, at the end of the Clause, to insert new Subsections—
(2) In the case of an officer or servant of a local authority adopting this Act no period of service with any other local authority shall be reckoned for the purposes of this Act unless such officer or servant shall within six months from the appointed day prove to the reasonable satisfaction of the local authority employing such officer or servant that he has been in the service of any such authority:Provided that no service shall he so reckoned in respect of which an officer or servant is entitled to any superannuation allowance or gratuity other than a super- 1621 annuation allowance or gratuity under this Act.(3) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Act, an officer or servant who has served successively as a teacher and on an administrative staff shall have the years of service which would be recognised under any Act for the time being relating to the superannuation of school teachers recognised for the purposes of this Act as if such service had been wholly on an administrative staff:Provided that any such last-mentioned officer or servant shall not be entitled to any greater superannuation allowance from the local authority under this Act than shall be sufficient, together with any superannuation allowance under any such Act as aforesaid, to make up the amount to which he would have been entitled had his service been wholly on the administrative staff of such local authority, and for the purpose of this Section account shall be taken in such manner as the Minister of Health shall prescribe of any capital sum paid or payable to the officer or servant under the provisions of any such Act.This Amendment restricts any overreaching employé who may seek to transfer his services from one authority in one capacity to another authority in another capacity. He is to be no better off than if he had remained under the original authority and the superannuation will be entirely based upon his salary in that respect. The Amendment is designed in the interests of the ratepayer and makes the position perfectly clear and prevents undue claims being made by persons coming on to the super-annuation fund in a new capacity.
§ Amendment agreed to.
