Payment by manual worker in respect of previous service

C7.—(1) A whole-time manual worker who becomes a pensionable employee by virtue of regulation B1(3)(c) may make a payment into the appropriate superannuation fund in order to become entitled under regulation D9 to reckon as reckonable service in relation to the employment in which he is a pensionable employee the period during which he was in that employment before becoming a pensionable employee.

(2) The amount of the payment is an amount equal to the contributions which he would have been required to make under regulation C2 in respect of the employment if he had throughout the period been a pensionable employee, and the payment is to be made, unless the employing authority allow a longer period, within the period of 6 months beginning on the date on which he becomes a pensionable employee.

(3) The payment is to be treated for the purposes of these regulations as if it consisted of contributions made under regulation C2 in respect of employment in which the person was a pensionable employee.
