737.18.7.3. For the purposes of this Title, the contract resulting from the renewal, after 12 June 2003, of an employment contract referred to in the definition of “foreign specialist” in the first paragraph of section 737.18.6 and in this section referred to as the “original contract”, is deemed not to be an employment contract separate from the original contract.
The rule set out in the first paragraph applies, with the necessary modifications, to a new employment contract that is entered into after 12 June 2003 with another eligible employer, who is deemed not to be an employer separate from the eligible employer, in this section referred to as the “first employer”, who entered into the original contract, provided that(a) the other eligible employeri. controls directly or indirectly the first employer,
ii. is, directly or indirectly, a controlled subsidiary of the first employer, or
iii. as a result of a transaction referred to in section 518 or 566, continues to carry on the business of the first employer in the course of which the individual who entered into the original contract performed the individual’s duties as a foreign specialist; and
(b) it may reasonably be considered that, but for the change of employer, the individual who entered into the original contract would have continued to be a foreign specialist working for the first employer until the time when the individual took up employment, as an employee, with the other eligible employer.
The first paragraph does not apply in respect of a contract that is deemed to have ended under the first or second paragraph of section 737.18.7.2.
