Section 34

The terms and conditions 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 33 while in the employment of the Government.

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 to be service with the Agency.

Nothing in the terms and conditions to be drawn up by the Agency adversely affects 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.

Where a person has been transferred to the service of the Agency under section 33, the Government is liable to pay to the Agency such portion of any pension, gratuity or allowance payable to the person on his retirement as the same bears to the proportion which the aggregate amount of the person’s pensionable emoluments during his or her service with the Government bears to the aggregate amount of his or her pensionable emoluments during his or her service under both the Government and the Agency.

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 wholly or partly dependent on him or her, as the Agency thinks fit, such allowance or gratuity as the Agency may determine.
