Western Australian Consolidated Acts Western Australian Consolidated Acts (1) If in the opinion
of the Board the health of any pensioner to whom a pension under
section 61 is being paid or is to be paid is such as to enable him to
perform suitable duties, the Board shall so inform a prescribed authority with
a view to suitable employment being found for the pensioner.
(2) If suitable
employment is offered to such pensioner at a salary not less than two-thirds
of his salary at the time of his retirement, or at such salary as is agreed
upon between him and a prescribed authority, the Board may cancel the pension
and thereupon it shall cease to be payable.
(3) In the event of
the recurrence of his infirmity any contributor who has been re-employed in
the service shall be entitled to pension at a rate not less than the amount of
the pension on which he was first retired.
(4) If, in the opinion
of the Board, the health of any pensioner to whom a pension under
section 61 is being paid, has become so restored as to enable him to
perform his duties and suitable permanent employment in the Service cannot be
offered to him but the pensioner is engaged in temporary employment by or
under the State at a remuneration not less than two-thirds of his salary at
the time of his retirement the Board may suspend the pension, and thereupon it
shall cease to be payable so long as the pensioner continues in such
employment.
(5) In the event of
the recurrence of this infirmity of the pensioner, or in the event of his
ceasing to be so engaged in temporary employment by or under the State or in
other employment as aforesaid the pensioner shall from the date of such
recurrence or the cessation of such employment, as the case may be, be
entitled to pension at the same rate as that on which he was retired from the
service.
