“earnings” means, in relation to an injured person—

“injured person” means an officer who has sustained injury even though the injury does not manifest itself until a date when he is no longer an officer, but does not include an officer who is otherwise eligible for compensation in respect of such injury under the provisions of the Worker’s Compensation Act;

“injury” means—

(b) an aggravation to a material extent of ill health, physical or mental unfitness, physical or mental incapacity, or personal injury, which aggravation, in the opinion of the Permanent Secretary, is caused by or due to an officer’s work;

without any wrongful act of commission or omission on the part of the officer;

“material extent”, in relation to an injury which has been aggravated by the discharge of the officer’s work, means—

(a) where the degree of disablement which would have been applicable had the whole of the condition of the injured person been caused by the performance of his work (hereinafter in this paragraph called the full degree of disablement) is less than 20 per centum, a degree of disablement of five per centum or more which is not less than one-half of his full degree of disablement;

(b) in cases not falling under paragraph (a), a degree of disablement of at least 10 per centum;

“medical certificate” means a certificate given by the medical authority specified in this regulation regarding—

(a) for a period of, or for periods not exceeding in the aggregate, 90 days on production of a medical certificate given by the medical practitioner or dentist, as the case may be, of the injured person or, if the Permanent Secretary desires the production of a certificate given by a medical practitioner or a dentist, as the case may be, nominated by him, on production of that certificate;

(b) in addition to sick leave granted under paragraph (a), for a further period of, or for further periods not exceeding in the aggregate, 90 days on production of a medical certificate given by a Government medical officer, or, if the Permanent Secretary desires the production of a certificate given by a medical board, on production of that certificate;

Provided that—

(i) no one continuous period of sick leave granted under this sub-regulation shall exceed 540 days;

(ii) no further period of sick leave shall be granted under this sub-regulation if the Permanent Secretary is satisfied, after considering the report of a medical board, that the injured person will be permanently unfit to perform his work and deems his degree of disablement to have reached a final and stationary condition.

(3) Sick leave granted under sub-regulation (2) shall be additional to any sick leave which may be granted under the provisions of the rules and instructions relating to the Teaching Service.

(4) The degree of disablement of an injured person shall be—

(b) in respect of any disability not mentioned in the First Schedule, such percentage as may be assessed by the Permanent Secretary after considering the opinion of a medical board on the percentage of disability.

(5) In making a report under paragraph (b) of sub-regulation (4), a medical board shall make a comparison of the injured person’s condition with the condition of a normal healthy person of the same age and sex without taking into account the earning capacity, in his disabled condition, of the injured person in his own or any other trade or occupation.

(6) In the case where an injured person has two or more disabilities which are the result of one or more injuries, the degree of disablement shall be determined in relation to the combined disabilities but shall in no case exceed 100 per centum.

(7) Notwithstanding the provisions of this regulation, if the Permanent Secretary deems the degree of disablement of an injured person to be inadequate by reason of the particular consequences of the disablement in relation to the special nature of that person’s occupation, he may assess the degree of disablement at such a percentage, being not more than 100 per centum, as he may deem equitable in the circumstances:

Provided that, if there is any material improvement in the injured person’s earning capacity, the Permanent Secretary may reduce or vary any assessment made under this sub-regulation, so, however, that in no case shall a degree of disablement be assessed at a percentage lower than that fixed by or under the provisions of sub-regulation (4), (6) or (13).

(8) Subject to the provisions of sub-regulation (12), an injured person shall, in addition to any other benefit payable under these Regulations, be entitled—

(a) in the case of an injured person whose degree of disablement is one hundred per centum, as an amount equal to the aggregate of two-thirds of his earnings up to and including one thousand three hundred kwacha and one-third of his earnings from one thousand three hundred and one kwacha to three thousand and forty kwacha, both inclusive;

(b) in the case of an injured person whose degree of disablement is less than 100 per centum, as an amount equal to one-hundredth of the allowance or pension computed as in paragraph (a), multiplied by the degree of disablement.

(10) In addition to any temporary allowance or pension payable under sub-regulation (8) to an injured person who has been discharged, there shall be paid in respect of the children of that injured person an allowance—

(a) if the degree of disablement is one hundred per centum, at the rate of one forty-eighth of his earnings or 60 kwacha per annum, whichever is the greater for the first child, and one-sixtieth of his annual pensionable emoluments or forty-eight kwacha per annum, whichever is the greater, for each additional child;

(b) if the degree of disablement is less than 100 per centum, at rates in the same proportion to the rates referred to in paragraph (a) as the degree of disablement bears to 100 per centum.

Any allowance payable under this sub-regulation shall cease from the date on which a pension becomes payable in respect of any of the children under the provisions of regulation 33.

(11) Notwithstanding the provisions of this regulation, the Permanent Secretary shall, with the consent of the injured person and unless the appropriate Service Commission concurs in the refusal of the Permanent Secretary to pay, pay to that person, in lieu of any pension calculated under sub-regulation (9), a lump sum equal to the capitalised value thereof, calculated in terms of the Second Schedule.

(12) Temporary allowances and pension under this regulation shall accrue—

(a) in the case of a temporary allowance, from a date to be determined by the Permanent Secretary;

(b) in the case of a pension, from such date as may be determined by the Permanent Secretary as that on which it may be deemed that the degree of disablement has reached a final and stationary condition.

(13) In any case where the degree of disablement of an injured person has been deemed by the Permanent Secretary to have reached a final and stationary condition, the Permanent Secretary may at any time vary the degree of disablement if he is satisfied, after considering the report of a medical board, that there has been a variation of five or more per centum of total disablement in respect of the injured person, and any pension payable to the injured person or any allowance payable in respect of his child under this regulation shall thereupon be computed accordingly.

(1) If the pension payable to a guaranteed officer on retirement calculated under these Regulations or the pension payable to a guaranteed officer on retirement calculated under these Regulations together with the pension payable in respect of his pensionable employment, as the case may be, is less than the pension which would have been payable to him on retirement from service in Zambia calculated in accordance with the provisions of the European Officers’ Pensions Act or the African Civil Servants’ Pensions Regulations, Chapter 57 of the 1964 Edition of the Laws, or the Subordinate Police (Pensions) Regulations or the Unified African Teaching Service Regulations, as the case may be, on the date of his retirement his pension under these Regulations shall be increased by the difference.

(2) In determining for the purposes of this regulation the pension which would have been payable to an officer on retirement from service in Zambia the retiring pensionable emoluments of the officer shall be deemed to be the emoluments which would, in the opinion of the Permanent Secretary, have been pensionable under the European Officers’ Pensions Act or the African Civil Servants’ Pensions Regulations, Chapter 57 of the 1964 Edition of the Laws, or the Subordinate Police (Pensions) Regulations or the Unified African Teaching Service Regulations, as the case may be, had he not transferred to the Service or had he not transferred to local conditions and subsequently transferred to the Service, as the case may be, and had he progressed in the scale of salary or remained on the fixed salary which was applicable to his office which corresponds with the scale of salary or the fixed salary of the office held by him in the Service during the three years immediately preceding his retirement.

(2) It shall be the duty of an Attendance Officer to institute proceedings for such offences as aforesaid whenever in his opinion the institution of such proceedings is necessary for the purpose of enforcing the duty imposed upon a parent by these Regulations, and no such proceedings shall be instituted except by or on behalf of an Attendance Officer.

(3) Where the court before which a prosecution is brought for an offence against these Regulations is satisfied that the child in respect of whom the offence is alleged to have been committed has failed to attend regularly at the school at which he is enrolled, then, whether or not the parent is convicted, the court may direct that the child be brought before a juvenile court by the Attendance Officer by or on whose behalf the proceedings were instituted, and the juvenile court may, if it is satisfied that it is necessary so to do for the purpose of securing the regular attendance of the child at the school, make any order which such a court has power to make under section 10 of the Juveniles Act in the case of juveniles in need of care who are brought before it under that section.

(4) Where proceedings have been instituted for an offence against these Regulations alleged to have been committed in respect of any child and it appears to the officer by whom the proceedings were instituted on behalf of the Attendance Officer that there is reasonable cause to believe that the punishment of the parent would not be sufficient for the purpose of securing the regular attendance of the child at school, it shall be his duty to apply to the court for a direction under sub-regulation (3); and where such application is made such a direction shall be given unless the court is satisfied that no such direction is necessary for the purpose aforesaid.

(5) In any proceedings for an offence against these Regulations, it shall be a sufficient defence if the parent satisfies the court that he has insufficient control over the child to ensure his regular attendance at school; and on the parent being acquitted on this ground the court shall make a direction under sub-regulation (3).

(6) For the purposes of the Juveniles Act, any child in respect of whom a direction has been made under this regulation that he be brought before a juvenile court shall be deemed to be a child about to be brought, or brought, before such a court under section 10 of that Act, and any order made by the juvenile court under this regulation shall be deemed to be an order made under that section, and all the provisions of that Act shall have effect accordingly, save that in relation to any such child sub-section (1) of section 10 of the said Act shall have effect as if the words “police officer or” were omitted therefrom, and sub-section (1) of section 15 of the said Act shall have effect as if the words “or police officer” were omitted therefrom.
