Notice before a protected period
A fictional employment exercise expressly states that valid ordinary notice was given before a legally relevant protected period began. The governing supplied rule says the unexpired notice period is suspended during that protection and resumes afterward. It does not say that the earlier notice becomes void or that the employment automatically ends when the protection ends. The record identifies the original notice, the remaining period and the later interruption, but the case intentionally supplies no final calendar date or month-end adjustment rule. Students must distinguish notice given before protection from notice newly issued during protection, and must explain which further facts and rules are needed before calculating an actual end date.
1. What does the supplied rule require?

The unexpired notice period is interrupted and resumes afterward. The original notice is not automatically erased, and the end of protection is not automatically the employment end date.
2. What is needed for a date calculation?

Establish the relevant trigger dates, remaining notice and applicable endpoint or calendar rules. Do not invent a final date from an incomplete timeline.
