The Public Service Pensions Related Deduction (PRD) applies to a public servant who is employed or holds an office or position in a public service body and is a member of a public service pension scheme or receives payment in lieu of membership of a pension scheme.
A person who is not a member of a public service pension scheme, as defined in the legislation, or in receipt of a payment in lieu of same would not be subject to the deduction.
If the Deputy is aware of an instance in which she is of the opinion that a PRD deduction was improperly made, I would invite her to provide details to my Department and the matter will be examined.
