If you manage to reenter the profession later - that will be a COMPLETELY separate arrangement to your previous pension accrued - so it will have no impact on the pension that you previously built-up which will be based on service to (for example) 2010
I could be wrong but as far as I know if you reenter the profession at a later date and are allowed back into the superannuation scheme that your service continue to accrue.
In the private sector it would certainly be separate.
I would not think it would make any difference in public sector either way because pay grades are determined by salary scales and either way the service will be rated against this pensionable salary to calculate the pension...so either way the benefit would be the same.
Teachers who are returning to the service and have completed their probation are placed on the point of the incremental scale at which they left off.
If they have not withdrawn their contributions to the pension fund their previous service is recognised in full for purposes of the superannuation scheme.
