| Notes: |
| 1. |
If you were appointed or re-appointed (after a break in service) to the Civil Service on or after 1 July 1987 on terms which attract pension benefits, you should be on the New Pension Scheme. |
| 2. |
It refers to the highest basic monthly salary of your substantive rank enjoyed or drawn in the course of your public service. It should exclude all allowances (e.g. acting allowance), gratuities and reimbursements. |
| 3. |
If you were re-appointed to the Civil Service on terms which attract pension benefits after a break in service, you should enter the date of re-appointment for calculating pension benefits for the period of your re-appointment. |
| 4. |
The date when you exhaust all your accrued leave and you are struck off strength from the Civil Service. |
| 5. |
You can opt for commuting part of your annual pension into a lump-sum pension gratuity (see Note 6). You can choose not to commute, in which case 0% should be input. The commutation percentage should be a multiple of 5%. The maximum commutation percentage is 25% for the Old Pension Scheme and 50% for the New Pension Scheme. |
| 6. |
Except for deferred pension, lump-sum pension gratuity will be paid at the date of retirement (see Note 4). |
| 7. |
Except for deferred pension, monthly pension will be paid at the end of each month after retirement. |
| 8. |
If you retire from the civil service before completing the period of qualifying service specified in the pensions legislation, no pension would be payable and only a one-off short service gratuity would be granted. For instance, if you retire from the civil service at normal retirement age (55 for Old Pension Scheme and 60 for New Pension Scheme) and have completed less than 10 years of qualifying service, you will not be eligible for pension but will be eligible for a one-off payment of short service gratuity. |
| Assumptions: |
| 1. |
You have been appointed to an established office on terms which attract pension benefits and that you have been confirmed in an established office at the time of your retirement. |
| 2. |
You have not taken any no pay leave and have not served on terms which do not attract pension benefits (e.g. on agreement terms). |
| 3. |
You retire on grounds that entitle you for grant of normal pension on the basis of your highest pensionable emolument drawn during the whole period of your service (i.e. calculation not applicable if you retire on grounds that entitle you for the grant of enhanced pension or if you retire on grounds that do not entitle you to pension on the basis of your highest pensionable emolument). |
| 4. |
You are on 100% pensionability throughout your service. |
