Clause 32

The terms and conditions to be drawn up by the Authority shall take into account the salaries and terms and conditions of service, including any accrued rights to leave, enjoyed by the persons transferred to the service of the Authority under section 31 while in the employment of the Government, the National Maritime Board or the Port of Singapore Authority, as the case may be, and any such term or condition relating to the length of service with the Authority shall provide for the recognition of service under the Government, the National Maritime Board or the Port of Singapore Authority, as the case may be, by the persons so transferred to be service by them under the Authority.

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] or the Port of Singapore Authority Act [Cap. 236], as the case may be.

In every case where a person has been transferred to the service of the Authority under section 31, his employer immediately before the date of such transfer shall be liable to pay to the Authority such portion of any gratuity, pension or allowance payable to such person on his retirement as the same shall bear to the proportion which the aggregate amount of his pensionable emoluments during his service with such employer bears to the aggregate amount of his pensionable emoluments during his service under both the Authority and such employer.

Where any person in the service of the Authority 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 Authority or is discharged from such service, the Authority may grant to him or to such person or persons wholly or partly dependent on him, as the Authority thinks fit, such allowance or gratuity as the Authority may determine.
