he shall be deemed to have been confirmed in his appointment immediately before the day upon which he was given notice requiring him to retire.
- (4) Where an officer was on any date appointed or selected for appointment to an office in the public service upon transfer from pensionable employment under the Government of the United Kingdom in a public office as defined by the Superannuation Act 1892(a) and for any period thereafter was entitled to return to such pensionable employment he shall not for the purposes of this Schedule be regarded as having been on that date appointed or, as the case may be, selected for appointment as the substantive holder of an office in the public service but shall for those purposes be regarded as having been so appointed or selected on the date on which he ceases to be entitled to return to such pensionable employment if on that date he was the holder of an office in the public service.
Entitlement to compensation. 2. (1) Subject to the provisions of this Schedule, every entitled officer shall, on the operative date or, in the case of a person who becomes an entitled officer after that date, on the date on which he becomes an entitled officer, become entitled to compensation, which shall be assessed in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph and at each assessment shall be calculated by multiplying the amount of his annual pensionable emoluments on the date taken for calculation by the appropriate factor and the resulting amount, or twelve thousand pounds, whichever is the less, shall be the amount to which he is entitled:
Provided that an officer seconded to the service of another government or authority on the date taken for calculation shall, for the purposes of this paragraph, be deemed to have such annual pensionable emoluments on that date as he would have had on that date if he had not been so seconded but had continued until that date to hold the office in the public service that he was holding immediately before his secondment and had been granted all increments and other increases of salary for which he would thus have been eligible.
- (2) The compensation of each entitled officer under this paragraph shall be provisionally assessed as soon as is reasonably practicable after the operative date or, in the case of a person who becomes an entitled officer after that date, as soon as is reasonably practicable after that person becomes an entitled officer, and for that purpose the date to be taken for calculation shall be the operative date or, in the case of a person who becomes an entitled officer after the operative date, the date on which that person became an entitled officer.
- (3) The compensation under this paragraph of each person who is serving as an entitled officer shall be provisionally re-assessed upon each anniversary of the date in relation to which his compensation was assessed under sub-paragraph (2) of this paragraph, and shall be finally assessed upon his retirement or death while still serving as an entitled officer, and for the purposes of this sub-paragraph the date to be taken for calculation shall be such date (not being earlier than the date in relation to which his compensation was assessed under sub-paragraph (2) of this paragraph or later than the date upon which his compensation is provisionally re-assessed or finally assessed, as the case may be) as is most advantageous in relation to the officer.
- (4) Each person who is serving as an entitled officer shall be entitled to additional compensation, notwithstanding that the additional compensation to which he is entitled under this sub-paragraph when added to the compensation to which he is entitled under the preceding provisions of this paragraph exceeds twelve thousand pounds, to be assessed on each occasion upon which his compensation is re-assessed under sub-paragraph (3) of this paragraph and calculated at each assessment by multiplying by decimal point 10 his annual pensionable emoluments for the period, reckoned in completed
