Notice of end of employment U.K.

4.  Where a person's period of service in a non-participating employment—

(a)falls to be treated, for the purpose of the provisions of Part II of the Act of 1959 relating to the making of a payment in lieu of contributions at the end of such a period, as having come to an end; or

(b)would fall to be so treated for that purpose but for the provisions of subsection (4) of section 9 of that Act (which subsection provides that, for the purpose of any liability to make a payment in lieu of contributions, two employments are in certain cases to be treated as a single continuous employment);

it shall be the duty of the employer to give the Minister notice in writing to that effect within the assurance period:

Provided that—

(i)this regulation shall not apply where notice under paragraph (5) of regulation 2 has been given by the person and his employer, or, in a case such as is referred to in paragraph (b) of this regulation, if both employments are under the same employer and the same recognised superannuation scheme relates to both; and

(ii)a notice of application for an extension or further extension of the period of thirteen contribution weeks referred to in paragraphs (2) and (3) of regulation 2 shall, if the application is not granted, be deemed to be a notice for the purpose of this regulation.
