Paragraph 14 Approval and Approval ApplicationsF1
England, Wales and Scotland
An Independent Provider must apply for approval on either—
a “closed approval” basis which, if granted, covers an employee—
who is not otherwise covered by a direction made under section 7 of the Superannuation (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1967, and
who is performing services pursuant to such a contract and who satisfies the wholly or mainly condition; and
who was, within the twelve months preceding the date of entering into employment with the Independent Provider, in an employment in which that employee was entitled to participate in superannuation benefits provided under section 10 of the Superannuation Act 1972 whether or not that employee had actually been a member of this Section of the Scheme pursuant to that entitlement; or
an “open approval” basis which, if granted, covers any employee performing services pursuant to such a contract who satisfies the wholly or mainly condition and regardless of whether that employee would fall within sub-paragraph (a).
