(5) If, pursuant to subsection (1), the provisions of this Act, or any of them, do not apply to a person or a class of person, a decision is inoperative to the extent to which it purports to apply to that person or a member of that class of person, at all or, as the case may be, in respect of the subject matter of the provisions that do not apply. (6) In its application this Act does not create a right, privilege or benefit for a person in respect of any period of service as an employee where, in respect of that period, the like right, privilege or benefit has been granted or given to or received by that person in accordance with a corresponding provision of any of the repealed Acts.
