b
by or under a statutory provision, whether public or local and whenever passed, a contract of employment between any body corporate and the person is modified and some other body corporate is substituted as that person’s employer;
c
on the death of their employer, the person is taken into the employment of the personal representatives or trustees of the deceased;

the person is employed by partners, personal representatives or trustees and there is a change in the partners, or, as the case may be, personal representatives or trustees; or
e
the person is taken into the employment of an employer who is, at the time they entered that employer’s employment, an associated employer of their previous employer, and for this purpose “associated employer” shall be construed in accordance with Article 4 of the Employment Rights (Northern Ireland) Order 1996.
