(2) The rate of remuneration payable is a week’s pay for each week of the period; and remuneration in respect of a period less than one week shall be calculated by reducing proportionately the amount of a week’s pay.
(3) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
(4) An employee is not entitled to remuneration under a protective award in respect of a period during which he is employed by the employer unless he would be entitled to be paid by the employer in respect of that period—
(a) by virtue of his contract of employment, or
(b) by virtue of sections 87 to 91 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 (rights of employee in period of notice),
if that period fell within the period of notice required to be given by section 86(1) of that Act.
(5) Chapter II of Part XIV of the Employment Rights Act 1996 applies with respect to the calculation of a week’s pay for the purposes of this section.

(6) If an employee of a description to which a protective award relates dies during the protected period, the award has effect in his case as if the protected period ended on his death.
