Clause 36

Nothing in the terms and conditions to be drawn up by the Authority shall adversely affect the conditions that would have been applicable to persons transferred to the service of the Authority as regards any pension, gratuity or allowance payable under the Pensions Act [Cap. 225].

In every case where a person employed by the Government in the Planning Department or the Research and Statistics Unit has been transferred to the service of the Authority under section 34, the Government shall be liable to pay to the Authority such portion of any gratuity, pension or allowance payable to such person on his retirement or otherwise leaving the service of the Authority as the same shall bear to the proportion which the aggregate amount of his pensionable emoluments during his service with the Government bears to the aggregate amount of his pensionable emoluments during his service under both the Government and the Authority.

Where any person in the service of the Authority whose case does not come within the scope and effect of any pension or other schemes referred to under this section, retires or dies in the service of the Authority or is discharged from such service, the Authority may grant to him or to such other person or persons wholly or partly dependent on him, as the Authority may think fit, such allowance or gratuity as the Authority may determine.

Where any person who is transferred to the service of the Authority under section 34 is a contributor under the Widows’ and Orphans’ Pension Act [Cap. 350], he shall for the purposes of that Act continue to make contributions under that Act as if he had not been transferred to the service of the Authority, and for the purposes of that Act his service with the Authority shall be deemed to be service with the Government.
