- Teachers who are current scheme members on 31 December 2006.
- Teachers who have been out of pensionable service for more than five years, but who return to teaching by 31 December 2007 will do so under the existing scheme provisions (irrespective of the length of break in service).
- There will be a minimum period of 30 days reckonable service or 60 days pensionable employment that must be undertaken after a break in service. This is to allow teachers who have a subsequent break in service to return at a later date and retain Normal Pension Age (NPA) 60 in respect of their future service.
