Regulation 18 Continuous employment and stoppages of work
Where a person does not work for any week or part of a week because there is a stoppage of work at that person’s place of employment due to a trade dispute within the meaning of section 35(1) of the Jobseekers Act 1995f1 then—
that person’s continuity of employment is treated as continuing throughout the stoppage for the purposes of section 171ZZ16 of the 1992 Act, and
no such week counts in the computation of their period of continuous employment.
Where during the stoppage of work a person is dismissed from their employment, that person’s continuity of employment is not to be treated under paragraph (1) as continuing beyond the commencement of the day that person stopped work.
Paragraph (1)(b) and paragraph (2) do not apply to a person who proves that at no time did they have a direct interest in the trade dispute in question.
