EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend regulation 4 of, and substitute regulation 6 of, the Teachers (Compensation for Redundancy and Premature Retirement Regulations) 1997.
The amendment to regulation 4 removes the requirement that regulation 6, which provides for discretionary compensation on the termination of employment, only applies to persons who are not entitled to retirement benefits under the Teachers' Pensions Regulations 1997. Under the substituted regulation 6 the maximum compensation which can be paid is 104 weeks' pay, less any redundancy payments to which the person is entitled and any compensation for redundancy paid under Part II of the regulations.
