Length of Service

Hi guys
My wife has just been declared 'at risk'. One of the factors in the equation will be length of service.....
Initially she was on a zero-hours contract but, after climbing the Greasy Pole, is now in a senior management position. Does her initial period of zero-hours contract count towards her overall length of service? Or does length of service only start counting from when she moved over to a proper contract?
Thanks,
GC

Im not sure just on the legal side, but does the company have a policy?
I know some do recognise it.0 -
Unless the company have policy to that effect, no. Redundancy is based on continuous service as an employee. Zero hours people are workers and not employees0
-
Another point to make is you do not know if longer service is deemed a good or a bad thing ?0
