(1)Subsection (3) applies if, in relation to a person who on the employer's first enrolment date is a jobholder to whom section 3 applies, the conditions in subsection (2) are satisfied, and continue to be satisfied during the transitional period for defined benefits and hybrid schemes.
(2)The conditions are that—
(a)the jobholder has been employed by the employer for a continuous period beginning before the employer's first enrolment date,
(b)at a time in that period before the employer's first enrolment date, the jobholder became entitled to become an active member of a defined benefits scheme or [F1a defined benefits member of a hybrid scheme] ,
(c)the jobholder is, and has always since that time been, entitled to become an active member of a defined benefits scheme or [F2a defined benefits member of a hybrid scheme] , and
(d)the scheme to which that entitlement relates is a qualifying scheme, and any scheme to which it has related on or after the employer's first enrolment date has been a qualifying scheme.
(3)[F3If by the end of the prescribed period the employer has given the jobholder notice that the employer intends to defer automatic enrolment until the end of the transitional period for defined benefits and hybrid schemes], section 3 has effect in relation to the jobholder with the substitution for subsection (2) of the following subsection—
“(2)The employer must make prescribed arrangements by which the jobholder becomes
[F4(a) an active member, with effect from the end of the transitional period for defined benefits and hybrid schemes, of an automatic enrolment scheme which is a defined benefits scheme,][F5 or
(b) a defined benefits member, with effect from the end of that period, of an automatic enrolment scheme which is a hybrid scheme.”]
(4)If [F6a notice is given under subsection (3) and at any later time] in the transitional period for defined benefits and hybrid schemes the condition in subsection (2)(c) or (d) of this section ceases to be satisfied, subsection (5) applies instead of subsection (3) (and the day after the last day on which that condition is satisfied is referred to as “the closure date”).
(5)Where this subsection applies, section 3 has effect in relation to the jobholder with the substitution for subsection (2) of the following subsection—
“(2)The employer must make prescribed arrangements by which the jobholder either—
(a)becomes an active member, with effect from the closure date, of an automatic enrolment scheme which is a defined benefits scheme,
[F7(aa)becomes a defined benefits member, with effect from the closure date, of an automatic enrolment scheme which is a hybrid scheme,]
(b)becomes an active member, with effect from the automatic enrolment date, of an automatic enrolment scheme which is a money purchase scheme [F8or personal pension scheme].
[F9(c)becomes a money purchase member, with effect from the automatic enrolment date, of an automatic enrolment scheme which is a hybrid scheme,”]
(6)If the jobholder becomes a member of a scheme under arrangements made under subsection (2)(b) of that section (as substituted by subsection (5))—
(a)the employer's contributions are payable with effect from the automatic enrolment date;
(b)any requirement of the scheme F10. . . for contributions to be payable by the jobholder does not apply in respect of the period of the jobholder's membership before the closure date;
(c)regulations made for the purposes of section 3(2)(b) must secure that the jobholder may pay, within a period prescribed by the regulations, any contributions which would have been payable by the jobholder but for paragraph (b) of this subsection.
(7)Where subsection (3) or (5) of this section [F11 applies—
(a)section] 3(3) and (4) apply as if references to the automatic enrolment date were references to the [F12day with effect from which] arrangements would by virtue of this section fall to be made in respect of the jobholder;
[F13(b)section 4 applies as if—
(i)the reference in subsection (1) to the employer's staging date were a reference to the employer's first enrolment date;
(ii)in that subsection, for “the workers's automatic enrolment date is the deferral date” there were substituted the day with effect from which arrangements fall to be made by virtue of section 30 in respect of the jobholder is changed to the deferral date;
(iii)in subsections (4) to (6), references to the starting day were references to the day with effect from which arrangements would by virtue of this section fall to be made in respect of the jobholder.]
[F14(c)section 5(2) does not apply in relation to an automatic re-enrolment date that falls before the day with effect from which arrangements would by virtue of this section fall to be made in respect of the jobholder.]
[F15(7A)The Secretary of State may by regulations make provision about the form and content of a notice under subsection (3).]
(8)The transitional period for defined benefits and hybrid schemes is a prescribed period beginning with the day on which section 3 comes into force.
(9)In this section, the “employer's first enrolment date” means the first day on which section 3 applies in the case of the employer (where that day falls within the transitional period for defined benefits and hybrid schemes).
[F16(10)For the purposes of this section—
(a)a person is a “money purchase member” of a hybrid scheme if—
(i)the person is an active member of the scheme, and
(ii)all the benefits accruing in respect of his or her membership are money purchase benefits, and
(b)a person is a “defined benefits member” of a hybrid scheme if the person is an active member of the scheme other than a money purchase member.]

Testun a grëwyd gan yr adran o’r llywodraeth oedd yn gyfrifol am destun y Ddeddf i esbonio beth mae’r Ddeddf yn ceisio ei wneud ac i wneud y Ddeddf yn hygyrch i ddarllenwyr nad oes ganddynt gymhwyster cyfreithiol. Cyflwynwyd Nodiadau Esboniadol ym 1999 ac maent yn cyd-fynd â phob Deddf Gyhoeddus ac eithrio Deddfau Adfeddiannu, Cronfa Gyfunol, Cyllid a Chyfnerthiad.
