2. Employees not covered by superannuation (pension) scheme
Employees in the following grades are not eligible to receive pensions when they retire. However, they are paid retirement gratuities if they have at least seven years service. The gratuity for full-time officers is calculated on the basis of one week's pay for each year of service up to 15 years and two weeks' pay for each year in excess of 15. The gratuity for part-time officers is based on ¾ of a week's pay for each year of service.
