Clause 41

The terms and conditions of service of persons transferred to the service of the Board under section 40 shall take into account the salaries and terms and conditions of service, including any accrued rights to leave, enjoyed by such persons while in the employment of the Government and any such term or condition relating to the length of service with the Board shall provide for the recognition of service under the Government by persons so transferred to be service by them under the Board.

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

In every case where a person has been transferred to the service of the Board under section 40, the Government shall be liable to pay the Board such portion of any gratuity, pension or allowance payable to such person on his retirement or otherwise leaving the service of the Board 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 Board.

Where any person who is transferred to the service of the Board under section 40 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 Board and, for the purposes of that Act, his service with the Board shall be deemed to be service with the Government.
