2 years

If you work at a company for 2 years, you get full protection. But if you get promoted you are still fully protected because the 2 years are based on continual service at the company rather than length of time in your particular role.



So 8 months in 3 roles at the same company = 24 months continual service even though you may have had 3 different contracts for each of the 3 roles.

Is that right?


I've always thought it was length of time in current role rather than length of time working for the company (without break).

It's the time you have been an employee of that company.

It is length of time employed by a single employer.

Thanks Chaps.

Actually, the answer is probably! You haven't specified what kind of contract- they all need to be contracts of employment, not contracting, agency or service; and there must not be a break of more than a week between the contracts - so finishing one on a Friday and the next on Monday is ok, but a week on Monday isn't.

"Working for" and "employed by" are not the same thing.
