any rule, practice, action or decision of the trustees or managers (“A”) of an occupational pension scheme regarding —

ii
the accrual of, or eligibility for, any benefit under the scheme (“benefit terms”),
where the admission terms or the benefit terms put a member (“B”) of the scheme at a disadvantage when compared with another member (“C”) if and to the extent that the disadvantage suffered by B is because B’s length of service with an employer (“D”) in relation to the scheme is less than that of C;

any rule, practice, action or decision of an employer (“E”) in relation to an occupational pension scheme regarding the admission terms or benefit terms where it puts a member (“F”) of that scheme at a disadvantage when compared with another member (“G”) if and to the extent that the disadvantage suffered by F is because F’s length of service with E is less than that of G; or

the length of time the member or worker has been working for that employer in total,
and it is for D or, as the case may be, E or H to decide which of sub-paragraphs (a) or (b) to use.
