Regulation 11 Ending of membershipI1

A person stops being a member in an employment if the person stops being eligible for membership in that employment.

A person who wishes to leave the Scheme must notify his or her employer in writing.

A person with more than one employment may leave the Scheme if the person wishes in respect of one, some or all of the employments.

A member who gives notice under paragraph (2) stops being a member in the specified employment from the date the notification specifies.

But, if a date earlier than the notification or no date is specified, the member stops being a member at the end of the payment period during which the notification is given.

Where notice is given by a person before that person has been a member for one month, that person must be treated as not having been a member in that period.

A person who is a member and is an employee of a transferee admission body is treated for the purposes of these Regulations and the Benefit Regulations as leaving a local government employment when the person ceases to be employed in connection with the provision of the service or assets under regulation 5(2) (employees of non-Scheme employers: transferee admission bodies) by virtue of which the person became eligible to join the scheme.
