In this Act:

"employer" includes—

        (a)     an entity; and

        (b)     the legal personal representative of a dead employer; and

        (c)     if the services of the worker are temporarily lent or let on hire to someone else (the temporary employer ) by the person (the original employer ) with whom the worker has entered into a contract of service or apprenticeship—the original employer is, for this Act, taken to continue to be the employer of the worker while the worker is working for the temporary employer.
