Public Officer Applying for Pension |
The Public Service Pension Plan of The Statute Laws of The Bahamas is a non-contributory plan. The purpose of the plan is to award pensions and gratuities to public officers.
There is no absolute right to the benefits that are awarded under The Pensions Act. The benefits are only awarded for good and faithful service and will be withheld in part or whole where officers are found to be guilty of disgraceful conduct or gross dereliction of duty or indebted to the Government of The Bahamas for any public money which came to their hands either legally or illegally.
The amount of the pension awarded to public officers is determined by the number of continuous months of employment and the annual salary at the time of retirement. Officers may take the maximum (full) pension for their months of service, in which case they will not receive the lump sum gratuity. However, officers may opt to take a reduced pension of 75% of their maximum (full) pension, and in this case they would receive a lump sum gratuity equal to 25% of their maximum (full) pension multiplied by ten (10).
The Benefits and Awards described below are for Public Officers who qualify for benefits under The Pensions Act, Chapter 43 of the Statute Laws of The Bahamas.
The following officers should refer to the relevant Act for Benefits and Awards for further information:
Judges – Judges Remuneration and Pensions Act
Members of The Royal Bahamas Police Force – The Police Force Act 2009
Prison officers – The Prison Act
Officers of The Defence Force – The Defence Force Act
Officers who do not qualify for the award of a pension, and provided they had completed at least ten (10) years of continuous monthly service, will be eligible for a gratuity equivalent to 4% of the annual salary at the time of retirement, multiplied by the number of completed years of service (less any periods taken on unpaid (no pay) leave and / or contract).
