Appeal allowed: where successive fixed-term contracts are separated by a break and there is no mutual arrangement or employer conduct treating the employee as continuing in employment during the break, the period does not count as continuous employment under s31B and the severance award cannot stand; a promise or settled expectation to re-employ is insufficient without mutual recognition that employment continued during the break.
