Part I General
Introductory
1
In this Schedule “the relevant provisions” means Part I (so far as it relates to itemised pay statements), section 53 and Parts II, III, V, VI and VII of this Act and this Schedule.
Institution or continuance of tribunal proceedings
2
Where an employee or employer has died, tribunal proceedings arising under any of the relevant provisions may be instituted or continued by a personal representative of the deceased employee or, as the case may be, defended by a personal representative of the deceased employer.
3
1
If there is no personal representative of a deceased employee, tribunal proceedings arising under any of the relevant provisions (or proceedings to enforce a tribunal award made in any such proceedings) may be instituted or continued on behalf of the estate of the deceased employee by such other person as the industrial tribunal may appoint being either—
a
a person authorised by the employee to act in connection with the proceedings before the employee’s death; or
b
the widower, widow, child, father, mother, brother or sister of the deceased employee,
and references in this Schedule to a personal representative shall be construed as including such a person.
2
In such a case any award made by the industrial tribunal shall be in such terms and shall be enforceable in such manner as may be provided by regulations made by the Secretary of State.
4
1
Subject to any specific provision of this Schedule to the contrary, in relation to an employee or employer who has died—
a
any reference in the relevant provisions to the doing of anything by or in relation to an employee or employer shall be construed as including a reference to the doing of that thing by or in relation to any personal representative of the deceased employee or employer; and
b
any reference in the said provisions to a thing required or authorised to be done by or in relation to an employee or employer shall be construed as including a reference to any thing which, in accordance with any such provision as modified by this Schedule (including sub-paragraph (a)), is required or authorised to be done by or in relation to any personal representative of the deceased employee or employer.
2
Nothing in this paragraph shall prevent references in the relevant provisions to a successor of an employer from including a personal representative of a deceased employer.
Rights and liabilities accruing after death
5
Any right arising under any of the relevant provisions as modified by this Schedule shall, if it had not accrued before the death of the employee in question, nevertheless devolve as if it had so accrued.
6
Where by virtue of any of the relevant provisions as modified by this Schedule a personal representative of a deceased employer is liable to pay any amount and that liability had not accrued before the death of the employer, it shall be treated for all purposes as if it were a liability of the deceased employer which had accrued immediately before the death.
Part II Unfair Dismissal
Introductory
7
In this Part of this Schedule “the unfair dismissal provisions” means Part V of this Act and this Schedule.
Death during notice period
8
Where an employer has given notice to an employee to terminate his contract of employment and before that termination the employee or the employer dies, the unfair dismissal provisions shall apply as if the contract had been duly terminated by the employer by notice expiring on the date of the death.
F769
Where—
a
the employee’s contract of employment has been terminated; and
b
by virtue of subsection (5) or (6) of section 55 a date later than the effective date of termination as defined in subsection (4) of that section is to be treated as the effective date of termination for the purposes of certain of the unfair dismissal provisions; and
c
before that later date the employer or the employee dies;
subsection (5) or, as the case may be, (6) shall have effect as if the notice referred to in that section as required by section 49 would have expired on the date of the death.
Remedies for unfair dismissal
10
Where an employee has died, then, unless an order for reinstatement or re-engagement has already been made, section 69 shall not apply; and accordingly if the industrial tribunal finds that the grounds of the complaint are well-founded the case shall be treated as falling within section 68(2) as a case in which no order is made under section 69.
11
If an order for reinstatement or re-engagement has been made and the employee dies before the order is complied with—
a
if the employer has before the death refused to reinstate or re-engage the employee in accordance with the order, section 71(2) and (3) shall apply and an award shall be made under section 71(2)(b) unless the employer satisfies the tribunal that it was not practicable at the time of the refusal to comply with the order;
b
if there has been no such refusal, section 71(1) shall apply if the employer fails to comply with any ancillary terms of the order which remain capable of fulfilment after the employee’s death as it would apply to such a failure to comply fully with the terms of an order where the employee had been reinstated or re-engaged.
Part III Redundancy Payments: Death of Employer
Introductory
12
The provisions of this Part shall have effect in relation to an employee where his employer (in this Part referred to as “the deceased employer”) dies.
F7713. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Dismissal
14
Where by virtue of subsection (1) of section 93 the death of the deceased employer is to be treated for the purposes of Part VI of this Act as a termination by him of the contract of employment, section 84 shall have effect subject to the following modifications:—
a
for subsection (1) there shall be substituted the following subsection—
1
If an employee’s contract of employment is renewed, or he is re-engaged under a new contract of employment, by a personal representative of the deceased employer and the renewal or re-engagement takes effect not later than eight weeks after the death of the deceased employer, then, subject to subsections (3) and (6), the employee shall not be regarded as having been dismissed by reason of the ending of his employment under the previous contract.
b
in subsection (2), paragraph (a) shall be omitted and in paragraph (b) for the words “four weeks” there shall be substituted the words “eight weeks”;
c
in subsections (5) and (6), references to the employer shall be construed as references to the personal representative of the deceased employer.
15
Where by reason of the death of the deceased employer the employee is treated for the purpose of Part VI of this Act as having been dismissed by him, section 82 shall have effect subject to the following modifications—
a
for subsections (3) there shall be substituted the following subsection—
3
If a personal representative of the deceased employer makes an employee an offer (whether in writing or not) to renew his contract of employment, or to re-engage him under a new contract of employment, so that the renewal or re-engagement would take effect not later than eight weeks after the death of the deceased employer the provisions of subsections (5) and (6) shall have effect.
b
in subsection (4), paragraph (a) shall be omitted and in paragraph (b) for the words “four weeks” there shall be substituted the words “eight weeks”;
c
in subsection (5), the references to the employer shall be construed as a reference to the personal representative of the deceased employer.
16
For the purposes of section 82 as modified by paragraph 15—
a
an offer shall not be treated as one whereby the provisions of the contract as renewed, or of the new contract, as the case may be, would differ from the corresponding provisions of the contract as in force immediately before the death of the deceased employer by reason only that the personal representative would be substituted as the employer for the deceased employer, and
b
no account shall be taken of that substitution in determining whether the refusal of the offer was unreasonable, or, as the case may be, whether the employee acted reasonably in terminating the renewed, or new, employment during the trial period referred to in section 84.
Lay-off and short-time
17
Where the employee has before the death of the deceased employer been laid off or kept on short-time for one or more weeks, but has not given to the deceased employer notice of intention to claim, then if after the death of the deceased employer—
a
his contract of employment is renewed, or he is re-engaged under a new contract by a personal representative of the deceased employer, and
b
after the renewal or re-engagement, he is laid off or kept on short-time for one or more weeks by the personal representative of the deceased employer,
the provisions of sections 88 and 89 shall apply as if the week in which the deceased employer died and the first week of the employee’s employment by the personal representative were consecutive weeks, and any reference in those sections to four weeks or thirteen weeks shall be construed accordingly.
18
The provisions of paragraph 19 or (as the case may be) paragraph 20 shall have effect where the employee has given to the deceased employer notice of intention to claim, and—
a
the deceased employer has died before the end of the next four weeks after the service of that notice, and
b
the employee has not terminated the contract of employment by notice expiring before the death of the deceased employer.
19
If in the circumstances specified in paragraph 18 the employee’s contract of employment is not renewed by a personal representative of the deceased employer before the end of the next four weeks after the service of the notice of intention to claim, and he is not re-engaged under a new contract by such a personal representative before the end of those four weeks, section 88(1) and (2) and (in relation to subsection (1) of that section) section 89(2) and (3) shall apply as if—
a
the deceased employer had not died, and
b
the employee had terminated the contract of employment by a week’s notice (or, if under the contract he is required to give more than a week’s notice to terminate the contract, he had terminated it by the minimum notice which he is so required to give) expiring at the end of those four weeks,
but sections 88(3) and (4) and 89(1) and (4) shall not apply.
20
1

he is laid off or kept on short-time by the personal representative for the week, or for the next two or more weeks, following the renewal or re-engagement.
2
Where the conditions specified in sub-paragraph (1) are fulfilled, sections 88 and 89 shall apply as if—

Where an employee’s contract of employment has been renewed, or he has been re-engaged under a new contract of employment, and during the trial period he gives notice to terminate the contract but dies before the expiry of that notice, sections 82(6) and 84(6)(a) shall have effect as if the notice had expired and the contract had thereby been terminated on the date of the employee’s death.
25
1
Where, in the circumstances specified in paragraphs (a) and (b) of subsection (1) of section 85, the employee dies before the notice given by him under paragraph (b) of that subsection is due to expire and before the employer has given him notice under subsection (3) of that section, subsection (4) of that section shall apply as if the employer had given him such notice and he had not complied with it.
2
Where, in the said circumstances, the employee dies before his notice given under section 85(1)(b) is due to expire but after the employer has given him notice under subsection (3) of section 85, subsections (3) and (4) of that section shall apply as if the circumstances were that the employee had not died, but did not comply with the last-mentioned notice.
26
1
Where an employee has given notice of intention to claim and dies before he has given notice to terminate his contract of employment and before the period allowed for the purposes of subsection (2)(a) of section 88 has expired, the said subsection (2)(a) shall not apply.
2
Where an employee, who has given notice of intention to claim, dies within seven days after the service of that notice, and before the employer has given a counter-notice, the provisions of sections 88 and 89 shall apply as if the employer had given a counter-notice within those seven days.

Preliminary
F781
1
Except so far as otherwise provided by the following provisions of this Schedule, a week which does not count under paragraphs 3 to 12 breaks the continuity of the period of employment.
2
The provisions of this Schedule apply, subject to paragraph 14, to a period of employment notwithstanding that during that period the employee was engaged in work wholly or mainly outside Great Britain, or was excluded by or under this Act from any right conferred by this Act.
3
A person’s employment during any period shall, unless the contrary is shown, be presumed to have been continuous.
Normal working weeks
3
Any week in which the employee is employed for sixteen hours or more shall count in computing a period of employment.
Employment governed by contract
4
Any week during the whole or part of which the employee’s relations with the employer are governed by a contract of employment which normally involves employment for sixteen hours or more weekly shall count in computing a period of employment.
5
1
If the employee’s relations with his employer cease to be governed by a contract which normally involves work for sixteen hours or more weekly and become governed by a contract which normally involves employment for eight hours or more, but less than sixteen hours, weekly and, but for that change, the later weeks would count in computing a period of employment, or would not break the continuity of a period of employment, then those later weeks shall count in computing a period of employment or, as the case may be, shall not break the continuity of a period of employment, notwithstanding that change.
2
Not more than twenty-six weeks shall count under this paragraph between any two periods falling under paragraph 4, and in computing the said figure of twenty-six weeks no account shall be taken of any week which counts in computing a period of employment, or does not break the continuity of a period of employment, otherwise than by virtue of this paragraph.
6
1
An employee whose relations with his employer are governed, or have been from time to time governed, by a contract of employment which normally involves employment for eight hours or more, but less than sixteen hours, weekly shall nevertheless, if he satisfies the condition referred to in sub-paragraph (2), be treated for the purposes of this Schedule (apart from this paragraph) as if his contract normally involved employment for sixteen hours or more weekly, and had at all times at which there was a contract during the period of employment of five years or more referred to in sub-paragraph (2) normally involved employment for sixteen hours or more weekly.
2
Sub-paragraph (1) shall apply if the employee, on the date by reference to which the length of any period of employment falls to be ascertained in accordance with the provisions of this Schedule, has been continuously employed within the meaning of sub-paragraph (3) for a period of five years or more.
3
In computing for the purposes of sub-paragraph (2) an employee’s period of employment, the provisions of this Schedule (apart from this paragraph) shall apply but as if, in paragraphs 3 and 4, for the words “sixteen hours” wherever they occur, there were substituted the words “eight hours”.
7
1
If an employee has, at any time during the relevant period of employment, been continuously employed for a period which qualifies him for any right which requires a qualifying period of continuous employment computed in accordance with this Schedule, then he shall be regarded for the purposes of qualifying for that right as continuing to satisfy that requirement until the condition referred to in sub-paragraph (3) occurs.
2
In this paragraph the relevant period of employment means the period of employment ending on the date by reference to which the length of any period of employment falls to be ascertained which would be continuous (in accordance with the provisions of this Schedule) if at all relevant times the employee’s relations with the employer had been governed by a contract of employment which normally involved employment for sixteen hours or more weekly.
3
The condition which defeats the operation of sub-paragraph (1) is that in a week subsequent to the time at which the employee qualified as referred to in that sub-paragraph—
a
his relations with his employer are governed by a contract of employment which normally involves employment for less than eight hours weekly; and
b
he is employed in that week for less than sixteen hours.
4
If, in a case in which an employee is entitled to any right by virtue of sub-paragraph (1), it is necessary for the purpose of ascertaining the amount of his entitlement to determine for what period he has been continuously employed, he shall be regarded for that purpose as having been continuously employed throughout the relevant period.
Power to amend paragraphs 3 to 7 by order
F798
1
The Secretary of State may by order—
a
amend paragraphs 3 to 7 so as to substitute for each of the references to sixteen hours a reference to such other number of hours less than sixteen as may be specified in the order; and
b
amend paragraphs 6 and 7 so as to substitute for each of the references to eight hours a reference to such other number of hours less than eight as may be specified in the order.
2
No order under this paragraph shall be made unless a draft of the order has been laid before Parliament and approved by a resolution of each House of Parliament.
3
The provisions of any order under this paragraph shall apply to periods before the order takes effect as they apply to later periods.
Periods in which there is no contract of employment
9
1
If in any week the employee is, for the whole or part of the week—
a
incapable of work in consequence of sickness or injury, or
b
absent from work on account of a temporary cessation of work, or
c
absent from work in circumstances such that, by arrangement or custom, he is regarded as continuing in the employment of his employer for all or any purposes, or
d
absent from work wholly or partly because of pregnancy or confinement,
that week shall, notwithstanding that it does not fall under paragraph 3, 4 or 5, count as a period of employment.
2
Not more than twenty-six weeks shall count under paragraph (a) or, subject to paragraph 10, under paragraph (d) of sub-paragraph (1) between any periods falling under paragraph 3, 4 or 5.
Maternity
10
If an employee returns to work in accordance with F80section 45(1) or in pursuance of an offer made in the circumstances described in section 56A(2) after a period of absence from work wholly or partly occasioned by pregnancy or confinement, every week during that period shall count in computing a period of employment, notwithstanding that it does not fall under paragraph 3, 4 or 5.
Intervals in employment where section 55(5) or 84(1) or 90(3) applies
11
1
In ascertaining, for the purposes of section 64(1)(a) F81. . . and of section 73(3), the period for which an employee has been continuously employed, where by virtue of section 55(5) F82or, as the case may be, (6) a date is treated as the effective date of termination which is later than the effective date of termination as defined by section 55(4), the period of the interval between those two dates shall count as a period of employment notwithstanding that it does not otherwise count under this Schedule.
2
Where by virtue of section 84(1) an employee is treated as not having been dismissed by reason of a renewal or re-engagement taking effect after an interval, then, in determining for the purposes of section 81(1) or Schedule 4 whether he has been continuously employed for the requisite period, the period of that interval shall count as a period of employment except in so far as it is to be disregarded under paragraphs 12 to 14 (notwithstanding that it does not otherwise count under this Schedule).
3
Where by virtue of section 90(3) a date is to be treated as the relevant date for the purposes of section 81(4) which is later than the relevant date as defined by section 90(1), then in determining for the purposes of section 81(1) or Schedule 4 whether the employee has been continuously employed for the requisite period, the period of the interval between those two dates shall count as a period of employment except in so far as it is to be disregarded under paragraphs 12 to 14 (notwithstanding that it does not otherwise count under this Schedule).
Payment of previous redundancy payment or equivalent payment
C912
1
Where the conditions mentioned in sub-paragraph (2)(a) or (2)(b) are fulfilled in relation to a person, then in determining, for the purposes of section 81(1) or Schedule 4, whether at any subsequent time he has been continuously employed for the requisite period, or for what period he has been continuously employed, the continuity of the period of employment shall be treated as having been broken—
a
in so far as the employment was under a contract of employment, at the date which was the relevant date in relation to the payment mentioned in sub-paragraph (2)(a) or, as the case may be, sub-paragraph (2)(b); or
b
in so far as the employment was otherwise than under a contract of employment, at the date which would have been the relevant date in relation to that payment had the employment been under a contract of employment,
and accordingly no account shall be taken of any time before that date.
2
Sub-paragraph (1) has effect—
a
where—
i
a redundancy payment is paid to an employee, whether in respect of dismissal or in respect of lay-off or short-time; and
ii
the contract of employment under which he was employed (in this section referred to as “the previous contract”) is renewed, whether by the same or another employer, or he is re-engaged under a new contract of employment, whether by the same or another employer; and
iii
the circumstances of the renewal of re-engagement are such that, in determining for the purposes of section 81(1) or Schedule 4 whether at any subsequent time he has been continuously employed for the requisite period, or for what period he has been continuously employed, the continuity of his period of employment would, apart from this paragraph, be treated as not having been broken by the termination of the previous contract and the renewal or re-engagement; or
b
where—
i
a payment has been made, whether in respect of the termination of any person’s employment or in respect of lay-off or short-time, either in accordance with any provisions of a scheme under section 1 of the M40Superannuation Act 1972 or in accordance with any such arrangements as are mentioned in section 111(3); and

the circumstances of the commencement of the new, or renewed, employment are such that, in determining for the purposes of section 81(1) or Schedule 4 whether at any subsequent time he has been continuously employed for the requisite period, or for what period he has been continuously employed, the continuity of his period of employment would, apart from this paragraph, be treated as not having been broken by the termination of the previous employment and the commencement of the new, or renewed, employment.
3
For the purposes of this paragraph, a redundancy payment shall be treated as having been paid if—
a
the whole of the payment has been paid to the employee by the employer, or, in a case where a tribunal has determined that the employer is liable to pay part (but not the whole) of the redundancy payment, that part of the redundancy payment has been paid in full to the employee by the employer, or
b
the Secretary of State has paid a sum to the employee in respect of the redundancy payment under section 106.

b
he was not during that week, or during the corresponding contribution week,—

2
For the purposes of the application of sub-paragraph (1) to a week of employment where the corresponding contribution week began before 5th July 1948, an employer’s contribution shall be treated as payable as mentioned in sub-paragraph (1) if such a contribution would have been so payable if the statutory provisions relating to national insurance which were in force on 5th July 1948 had been in force in that contribution week.
3
Where by virtue of sub-paragraph (1) a week of employment does not count in computing such a period as is mentioned in that sub-paragraph, the continuity of that period shall not be broken by reason only that that week of employment does not count in computing that period.

Any question arising under this paragraph whether—
a
an employer’s contribution was or would have been payable, as mentioned in sub-paragraph (1) or (2), or
b

1
For the purpose of paragraphs 3 and 4, in arriving at the average hourly rate of remuneration only the hours when the employee was working, and only the remuneration payable for, or apportionable to, those hours of work, shall be brought in; and if for any of the twelve weeks mentioned in either of those paragraphs no such remuneration was payable by the employer to the employee, account shall be taken of remuneration in earlier weeks so as to bring the number of weeks of which account is taken up to twelve.
2
Where, in arriving at the said hourly rate of remuneration, account has to be taken of remuneration payable for, or apportionable to, work done in hours other than normal working hours, and the amount of that remuneration was greater than it would have been if the work had been done in normal working hours, account shall be taken of that remuneration as if—

the work had been done in normal working hours; and
b
the amount of that remuneration had been reduced accordingly.
