term-time worker definition
term-time worker means a person whose contract of employment provides for a regular pattern of periods of work and periods of no work so as to result in a recognisable cycle of work consisting of one year (but is not limited to persons working in educational establishments). It follows that if a member, prior to the 18 month review, notifies the previous Scheme employer that they have obtained employment as a ‘term time worker’ on a standard hours contract that is not less than 30 hours each week with an unspecified end date, it would be reasonable for the Scheme employer to take the view that the gainful employment test was met and to discontinue payment of the Tier Three benefits.
