Where an employee has lost his employment but is re-employed by the same employer within thirty days, his employment shall be regarded as continuous with this earlier period of employment.
Except as provided in subsection (3), where an employee does not receive his severance pay within thirty days of termination, his employment shall be regarded as continuous with his earlier period of employment for purposes of calculating his period of employment in relation to severance pay and any other benefit which, under this Law, accrues on the basis of longevity.
In relation to subsection (2), the period for construction and agricultural workers is ninety days.
For purposes of calculating an employee's due under subsections (2) and (3), the period during which accrual continues stops running —
when a complaint is filed under this Law; or
upon the expiry of a reasonable time from the date on which the employee knew or should have known of the facts giving rise to the complaint.
