Regulation 13 Concurrent employmentsI1F1
Northern Ireland
Where a person ceases to be an active member in one employment (“the first employment”)—
in respect of which he has at least three months’ total membership; or
in respect of which he has an entitlement to benefits under regulation 5 (benefits) of the Benefits Regulations, and
continues as an active member in another employment which was held concurrently with the first employment, the person may elect to have the former membership in respect of the first employment aggregated with membership in that other employment.
If he so elects, the provisions of regulation 12 (re-employed and rejoining deferred members) shall apply as if references to—
his former membership or former active membership were references to his membership from his first employment;
the new employment were references to his concurrent employment; and
the employment in which he becomes an active member again were references to that concurrent employment.
In the case of a person to whom this regulation applies, the period of membership which will be aggregated with his membership from the concurrent employment will be equal to his membership from his first employment, as reduced under regulation 7(3) and (4) (calculation of lengths of periods of membership) of the Benefits Regulations if the first employment was part-time, multiplied by the fraction—
where the rate of pensionable pay in each case is the annual rate of pensionable pay on the last day of the first employment.
