LAN: Yes. H.G. will say he'll get his pension, so what is there to worry about?
PETER: But the thing is,Ian, is Hardiman entitled to the full pension if he broke his
employment with us? Let's look up the articles of the pension fund. Have you got a
copy?
IAN: I`ll have a look.
(Thursday: the Pension Fund Meeting is in progress.)
GRANT: Well, gentlemen, this isn't going to take us very long. You've seen Mr.
Buckhurst's pension fund accounts. They're impeccable as usual. So it's only a
question of approving them for the sake of the record. Right. Do you all agree the
accounts? (Murmurs of assent.) Good. Well, that's all. I presume there's no other
business?
IAN: Well, there is one thing more, H.G. The question of redundancy, the case of
Bob Hardiman...
GRANT: That's a straightforward case. He gets his pension, less three years, or
whatever it is. You'll see to that, won't you?
IAN: I don't think it's quite as simple as that.
GRANT: Why on earth not?
IAN: Peter will explain.
PETER: There seems to be some slight difficulty, H.G. You see, Hardiman left us
for three years, as you know.
GRANT: I know very well he did. I've just said so.
PETER: Quite so. But I felt I should look up the articles of the fund. Ian, of course.
is already aware of this. It seems that if a period of employment is interrupted for
more than six months a further period of five years has to be worked before the
employee is entitled to a full pension. If Hardiman continues with us until he's due to
retire, that is, in three years' time, there is, of course, no problem. He will be fully
entitled. But as things stand at present he would get, at a rough guess, only about
three- quarters of his pension. And we could hardly allow that situation with such an
old employee. It would do the company no good at all. He will, naturally, have to be
compensated out of the company's funds to make his pension up to the proper
amount.
GRANT: But that's preposterous!
PETER: But it does seem to be the only thing to do.
GRANT: We'll just have to alter the articles.
PETER: That would require the Chairman's vote, of course.
GRANT: Oh dear?
