Local Authorities (Electrical Employees) Act, 1937

In short

This law makes special provisions for the superannuation (pension) rights of local authority employees who were transferred to the Electricity Supply Board and later returned to local authority service. It ensures their service with the Electricity Supply Board counts towards their pension when they return to a local authority.

What it regulates

  • The superannuation rights of certain employees.
  • How service periods are calculated for pension purposes for these employees.
  • The refunding of a portion of allowances or gratuities by the Electricity Supply Board to local bodies.
  • The process for determining the amount of such refunds if there is no agreement.

Who it concerns

  • Employees of local authorities who were transferred to the Electricity Supply Board.
  • Local authorities and their successors that employ these individuals.
  • The Electricity Supply Board.

Key points

  • Employees who moved from a "former undertaker" (local body) to the Electricity Supply Board and then back to the same local body or its successor can count their service with the Board towards their superannuation.
  • This applies if the employee was continuously employed by the Board from the date of transfer to the Board until their transfer back to the local body.
  • If an allowance or gratuity is paid, the Electricity Supply Board must refund a part of it to the local body.
  • The amount of the refund, if not agreed upon, will be fixed by the Minister for Local Government and Public Health.
