The Court held the employer's $30/day offer did not negate a lay-off under s31E because it was not a contractual entitlement; and an employee "taken to be laid off" does not automatically cease employment on the relevant date — the employee must elect to treat the employer's conduct as repudiation (for example by giving notice under s31N) — accordingly the presiding officer's finding that the claimant's notice of 7 June was effective was correct and the appeal was dismissed.
