The Local Government (Discretionary Payments) Regulations 1996
These regulations consolidate, with amendments, the provisions of the Local Government (Compensation for Premature Retirement) Regulations 1982, Part II of the Local Government (Compensation for Redundancy and Premature Retirement) Regulations 1984 and Part II of the Local Government (Compensation for Redundancy) Regulations 1994, all of which have been amended. They also revoke the extant Parts K and L of the Local Government Superannuation Regulations 1986. Parts V and VI of these regulations replace them as part of local authority discretionary awards. These Regulations contain all the provisions relating to discretionary payments that may be made to persons engaged in local government employment other than teachers and those engaged in the police and fire services (excluding those under Part III of the Local Government (Compensation for Redundancy) Regulations 1994).
