(a)the loss of any benefits to which the relevant work-seeker might have become entitled had he not terminated the contract;
(b)the recovery of losses incurred by an agency or employment business as a result of the failure of the relevant work-seeker to perform work he has agreed to perform; or
(c)a requirement in a contract with the agency or employment business for the work-seeker to give a period of notice which is reasonable to terminate the contract.
