Employment Agents Act 1976

On granting a licence, other than an interim licence, the Commissioner shall fix a period, not exceeding the period prescribed, during which the licence is to have effect.

Subject to section 25, unless sooner surrendered a licence, other than an interim licence, shall have effect for the period fixed under subsection (1).

A licence, other than an interim licence, may be renewed from time to time for the period prescribed.

Where an application is made for the renewal of a licence after, but within 3 months of, the date on which that licence expired, and any amount prescribed by way of penalty for a late application is paid, the Commissioner may renew that licence and in that event the renewal of the licence shall be deemed for all purposes to have taken effect on the day immediately succeeding the date on which the previous licence expired.

Except where the licence was granted on behalf of a firm or corporation, in the event of the death of the holder of a licence, the licence shall be deemed to have been granted to his legal personal representative and shall, unless it is transferred to some other person or cancelled or surrendered, remain in force until the end of the period of 3 months beginning with the death and shall then expire, so however that the licence may be extended or further extended by the Commissioner for the purpose of winding up the deceased’s estate.
