Furlough only employed since september

Hi 
My OH has only been emplyeed since september on a zero hours contract. 
Under the new scheme i believe he can be furloughed however im confused on his hours. 
Hes worked 160 hours between september and 30th october. 
Ive seen that to work out normal pay you average over tax year 20/21 - however if youve only been employed since september do you still average for the year or just for them months? 
Hope that makes sense

He will be very lucky if he is furloughed, but if he is, his reference salary will be based on his average wage from his start date, and won't be reduced because he wasn't working there earlier.

Totally appreciate that if offered furlough he will be lucky, just doing the research so we know where we stand. 

Thanks for your fast response
