THE POLICE PENSION (NORTHERN IRELAND) (AMENDMENT) REGULATIONS 2013

The Department of Justice has made a Statutory Rule entitled “The Police Pension (Northern Ireland) (Amendment) Regulations 2013” (S.R. 2013 No 36) which comes into operation on 1 April 2013.

The rule amends the 2009 Regulations so as to ensure compliance with the requirements prescribed by the Pensions (No. 2) Act (Northern Ireland) 2009 (“the Pensions Act”) and the Occupational and Personal Pension Schemes (Automatic Enrolment) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2010 with regard to arrangements the employer must make in respect of automatic enrolment and re-enrolment of a jobholder in a qualifying scheme.

The rule also ensures the Scheme complies with other arrangements prescribed by the Pensions Act and the 2010 Regulations by which a jobholder or worker may join and leave a qualifying pension scheme.
