I don't think so.  But is it possible that you had vacation time that should be counted in that period?  Or do your start/finish dates not work for that?

The answer is simply no. You need to check if you have any part time, paid job for at least 37.5 hrs a week, so you claim the needed month.

Good luck

Have you calculated the exact number of hours you worked?  If it is greater than 1,950 x 4 would creativeuk be able to count the full four years??  Mezo?  Everyone is entitled to have vacation time and no one works 52 weeks in a year.  My thought process was - wait for it - if the full hours were worked in each year, the 12th month would be vacation time.  WITH A COVER LETTER OF EXPLANATION, of course!  Yes?  No?

Nice provocative articulation of the issue Pippin . I'm afraid that even his 3 yrs and 2 months employment does actually include the vacations. At least, this is what companies do in middle east, once you work for a year in a company, it implicitly means 11 months plus one month paid leave (more or less). I'm not sure that he can get that month on that ground.

Good luck,

Sorry, CreativeUK, I did my best for you, but I think the masterful Mezo has given you the sad truth.
