The Local Government (Discretionary Payments and Injury Benefits) (Scotland) Regulations 1998
These Regulations consolidate, with amendments, the provisions of the Local Government (Compensation for Premature Retirement) (Scotland) Regulations 1979, as amended, Part II of the Local Government (Compensation for Redundancy and Premature Retirement) (Scotland) Regulations 1984 and the Local Government (Compensation for Redundancy) (Scotland) Regulations 1994. They also revoke Parts K and L of the Local Government Superannuation (Scotland) Regulations 1987 dealing with injury allowances and gratuities. Parts V and VI of these Regulations replace them. As a result, these Regulations contain all the provisions relating to discretionary payments and payments of injury benefits by employers to persons engaged in local government employment other than teachers and those engaged in the police and fire services (excluding payments under the Local Government (Compensation for Redundancy or Premature Retirement on Reorganisation) (Scotland) Regulations 1995).
