(2) Nothing in those sections imposes a duty on the hirer or temporary work agency beyond the original intended duration, or likely duration of the assignment, whichever is the longer.   

(3) Those sections do not apply where sections 66 to 68 apply.

• “assignment”;
• “hirer”;
• “qualifying period”;
