MAking up the initial 2 years at the workplace

Ill keep it short,

If you (And I mean 'I') start at a company via agency for 2 months then taken on by the company directly (permanently, as it were), does that reset the time to make the 2 years (have to work 24 months) or are the 2 months via agency taken into consideration?

Taa all

Your two years I believe start from the time you work directly for the company. As before that you are working for the agency, not the client.

I do not know the answer, but I seem to recall reading something where someone was working part of the year at a company every year for a few years (lets say 5) and it was treated like they had been there for 5 years continuous.

It was a holiday camp like Butlins or something I think.

It may be worth checking with a professional employment solicitor/HR company.

There are several such precedents. But they do not apply. The OP was clearly an agency worker with an established and transparent form of employment, and then later transferred to work directly for the company. Their continuous service dates from that latter time. The percents you are thinking of are based on continuous employment with a single employer and contrived fixed term employment designed to break continuous service.
