Pensionable pay

Conference notes and commends the historic work carried out by Fire Brigades Union (FBU) Officials on ‘Pensionable Pay’ and the legal victories achieved thus far regarding this matter and recognises the far reaching and evolving consequences of these legal rulings.

Conference instructs the Executive Council to clarify which payments made to firefighters constitute ‘Pensionable Pay’ and report this back to brigade secretaries so that they can assess if their respective fire and rescue services have adopted these payments as ‘Pensionable Pay’.

Conference also demands that an immediate review be undertaken to explore what other firefighter remuneration may be deemed as ‘Pensionable Pay’ under all existing Firefighter Pension Scheme (FPS) rules as a result of the legal rulings.
