Chapter VII Supplementary
Death of employer or employee
176 Death of employee.
1
Where an employee whose employer has given him notice to terminate his contract of employment dies before the notice expires, this Part applies as if the contract had been duly terminated by the employer by notice expiring on the date of the employee’s death.
2
Where—
a
an employee’s contract of employment has been terminated by the employer,
b
(by virtue of subsection (5) of section 145) a date later than the relevant date as defined by the previous provisions of that section is the relevant date for the purposes of certain provisions of this Act, and
c
the employee dies before that date,
that subsection applies as if the notice to which it refers would have expired on the employee’s death.
3
Where—
a
an employer has given notice to an employee to terminate his contract of employment and has offered to renew his contract of employment or to re-engage him under a new contract, and
b
the employee dies without having accepted or refused the offer and without the offer having been withdrawn,
section 141(2) applies as if for the words “he unreasonably refuses” there were substituted “
it would have been unreasonable on his part to refuse
”
.
4
Where an employee’s contract of employment has been renewed or he has been re-engaged under a new contract—
a
if he dies during the trial period without having terminated, or given notice to terminate, the contract, section 141(4) applies as if for paragraph (d) there were substituted—
d
it would have been unreasonable for the employee during the trial period to terminate or give notice to terminate the contract.
b
if during that trial period he gives notice to terminate the contract but dies before the notice expires, sections 138(2) and 141(4) apply as if the notice had expired (and the contract had been terminated by its expiry) on the date of the employee’s death.
5
Where in the circumstances specified in paragraphs (a) and (b) of subsection (3) of section 136 the employee dies before the notice given by him under paragraph (b) of that subsection expires—
a
if he dies before his employer has given him a notice such as is specified in subsection (2) of section 142, subsections (3) and (4) of that section apply as if the employer had given him such a notice and he had not complied with it, and
b
if he dies after his employer has given him such a notice, that section applies as if the employee had not died but did not comply with the notice.
6
Where an employee has given notice of intention to claim—
a
if he dies before he has given notice to terminate his contract of employment and before the relevant period (as defined in subsection (3) of section 150) has expired, that section does not apply, and
b
if he dies within the period of seven days after the service of the notice of intention to claim, and before the employer has given a counter-notice, Chapter III applies as if the employer had given a counter-notice within that period of seven days.
7

a
if the employee died before the end of the period of six months beginning with the relevant date, subsection (1) of section 164, and
