New Hire, Rehire, or Employee Becomes Eligible to Join a Civil Service Pension Scheme

A Service History record (Start Code: N) is created for the hire or rehire of an employee who is considered eligible to join a qualifying pension scheme or they have been assessed as now eligible to join a pension scheme. The employee must either:

• Be enrolled into a qualifying pension scheme (there is a qualifying pension scheme component on Benefits and Pensions card).
• Have opted out of a qualifying pension scheme (Reason for Leaving Qualifying Scheme is Opt-out on Pensions Automatic Enrolment card) since joining.

If an employee has decided to opt out prior to hire, follow the steps for an opt out.

Note: A new assignment triggers a new Service History record (Start Code: N).
