In the event Work IT shall be entitled to replace such Operative but unless it offers so to do the provision of paragraph 3 (c) hereof shall not apply in respect of such Operative.

(b) Subject to sub-paragraph (a) hereof and to any prior agreement in writing the Hirer shall not dispense of the services of all or any Operatives without giving to Work IT 48 hours’ notice in writing. In default of such notice, unless during any actual period of notice for such Operative or Operatives of 8 hours or more, the Hirer shall make payments to Work IT as if due notice had been given and during the period hereof the Operative or Operatives had each worked for 8 hours.
