Section 24
Section 24
Pension rights, etc., of Government employees to be preserved
(1)
The terms and conditions of service to be drawn up by the Agency must take into account the terms and conditions of service (including salaries and accrued rights to leave) enjoyed by the persons transferred to the service of the Agency under section 23 while in the employment of the Government or the Singapore Armed Forces, as the case may be.
(2)
Any term or condition relating to the length of service with the Agency must recognise the length of service of the persons so transferred while in the employment of the Government or the Singapore Armed Forces (as the case may be) to be service with the Agency.
(3)
The terms and conditions of service to be drawn up by the Agency must not adversely affect the conditions that would have been applicable to persons transferred to the service of the Agency as regards any pension, gratuity or allowance payable under the Pensions Act 1956 or the Singapore Armed Forces Act 1972.
(4)
In every case where a person has been transferred to the service of the Agency under section 23, the Government is liable to pay to the Agency such portion of any pension, gratuity or allowance payable to such person on his or her retirement as the same bears to the proportion which the aggregate amount of his or her pensionable emoluments during his or her service with the Government or the Singapore Armed Forces (as the case may be) bears to the aggregate amount of his or her pensionable emoluments during his or her service under both the Government or the Singapore Armed Forces (as the case may be) and the Agency.
(5)
Where any person in the service of the Agency, whose case does not fall within the scope of any pension or other schemes established under this section, retires or dies in the service of the Agency or is discharged from such service, the Agency may grant to him or her or to such other person or persons wholly or partly dependent on him or her, as the Agency thinks fit, such allowance or gratuity as the Agency may determine.
