Paragraph 3

Where the applicant is taken into the employment of his former employer in pursuance of any such order, the provisions of this Act have effect in relation to the applicant as if he had been taken into employment in pursuance of the obligation imposed on his former employer by section 1.

Where the applicant has already been in the employment of his former employer for any period since the end of his whole-time service, the period of 26, 52 or 13 weeks for which, under section 7 as applied by this paragraph, the applicant has to be employed shall be correspondingly reduced.
