1Jobholders

1

For the purposes of this Part a jobholder is a worker—

a

who is working or ordinarily works in Northern Ireland under the worker's contract,

b

who is aged at least 16 and under 75, and

c

to whom qualifying earnings are payable by the employer in the relevant pay reference period (see sections 13 and 15).

2

Where a jobholder has more than one employer, or a succession of employers, this Chapter applies separately in relation to each employment.

Accordingly—

a

references to the employer are references to the employer concerned;

b

references to membership of a pension scheme are references to membership in relation to the employment concerned.
