Employment Ordinance

Where an employer has given notice to an employee to terminate his contract
                    of employment, and has offered to renew his contract of employment, or to
re-
engage him under a new contract,
and—
(a)
the employee dies without having either accepted or refused the offer;
                        and
(b)
the offer has not been withdrawn before his death,
subsection (2) or (as the case may be) subsection (3) of
section
                        31C
shall apply as if, for the words “the employee has unreasonably
                    refused”, there were substituted the words “it would have been unreasonable on
                    the part of the employee to refuse”.
