58.(1) Any notice which under this Act is required or authorised to be given
by an employee to an employer may be given either by the employee himself or
by a person authorised by him to act on his behalf, and, whether given by or
on behalf of the employee,

(a)may be given by being delivered to the employer, or sent by post addressed
to him at the place where the employee is or was employed by him, or

(b)if arrangements in that behalf have been made by the employer, may be given
by being delivered to a person designated by the employer in pursuance of the
arrangements, or left for such a person at a place so designated, or sent by
post to such a person at an address so designated.

(2) Any reference in this Act to the giving of a notice, and any reference in
subsection (1) to the delivery of a notice, shall, in relation to a notice
which is not required by this Act to be in writing, be construed as including
a reference to the oral communication of the notice.

(3) For the purposes of this Act, section 24(1) of the Interpretation Act
(Northern Ireland) 1954 (which provides that the service of a document
authorised or required to be sent by post may be effected by sending the

were omitted therefrom.

(4) Any notice which, in accordance with any provision of section 24 of the
Interpretation Act (Northern Ireland) 1954 or of this section, is left for a
person at a place referred to in that provision shall, unless the contrary is
proved, be presumed to have been received by him on the day on which it was
left there.

(5) Nothing in subsection (1) shall be construed as affecting the capacity of
an employer to act by a servant or agent for the purposes of any provision of
this Act, including that subsection.
