Hello Everyone

Just a quick question, Your help is really appreciated

Does work experience have to be paid employment?
My first 1 month was full time but free (I got trained and took courses instead), then for 2 months I worked full time (They paid me as a services)
and then I was added to the payroll.

I am a designer, and we work like that all the time.

Many Thank
S

I'm afraid that only the time you were on payroll will count. A personal services contract is "self-employment" and that is specifically excluded. As well, you have to document the number of hours of paid employment, so it would be impossible to document that first month.
