Part-time pay is proportionate, and the agreement separately provides a pensionable special annual allowance of DKK 3,000 connected with the phasing out of the age-60 rule. That amount is expressed at the 31 March 2012 base level. It is separate from the teaching-time credit whose threshold is being adjusted.
