2.—(1) The levy to be imposed on employers shall be assessed in accordance with the provisions of this Article.
(2) The levy shall be assessed by the Board separately in respect of each construction establishment of an employer, but in agreement with the employer one assessment may be made in respect of any number of such establishments in which case those establishments shall be deemed for the purposes of that assessment to constitute one establishment.

(a)in the fifty-ninth base period; or
(b)where an election is made in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (4) in the alternative fifty-ninth base period,
and no remission for the levy shall be given to an employer.
(4) An election shall be made in writing and shall be in such form and made within such period as the Board may with the approval of the Department determine.
(5) There shall be exempt from the levy—
(a)an employer in relation to whom the relevant earnings paid or payable to or in respect of all persons in his employment in the fifty-ninth base period are less than £80,000 or in the case of two or more construction establishments where the relevant earnings of all the persons employed in all such establishments are less than £80,000; or
