Q1: Will I lose my accrued pension? No. The Government has explicitly mandated that all accrued pension rights and gratuities are legally protected.
Q2: Will everyone automatically move to the new Authority? Everyone will have the opportunity to transition through structured pathways developed in consultation with staff and representative unions.
Q3: Will salaries or working conditions be impacted negatively? Existing terms remain safeguarded. The goal of statutorisation is to improve working conditions, streamline staffing, and provide faster operational support.
