Supplemental E+W+S

9 In any case in which an employee has not been employed for a sufficient period to enable a calculation to be made under any of the foregoing provisions of this Part, the amount of a week’s pay shall be an amount which fairly represents a week’s pay; and in determining that amount the tribunal shall apply as nearly as may be such of the foregoing provisions of this Part as it considers appropriate, and may have regard to such of the following considerations as it thinks fit, that is to say—

(a) any remuneration received by the employee in respect of the employment in question;

(b) the amount offered to the employee as remuneration in respect of the employment in question;

(c) the remuneration received by other persons engaged in relevant comparable employment with the same employer;

(d) the remuneration received by other persons engaged in relevant comparable employment with other employers;

10 In arriving at an average hourly rate or average weekly rate of remuneration under this Part account shall be taken of work for a former employer within the period for which the average is to be taken if, by virtue of Schedule 13, a period of employment with the former employer counts as part of the employee’s continuous period of employment with the later employer.
