can paid annual leave be discounted from 180d absents

Hi, can paid annual leave be discounted as well as business trips?


I have a total of 249 days absent. The breakdowns are:
Annual leave: 112 days
Business trips: 7 days
Compatienate leave: 4 days
weekend and public holidays in conjunction with annual leave: 118 days
Airport in/out :8 days

Am I right to say I am still within the 180d limit if annual leaves and business trips are discounted?

I work for the same company for the past 5 years and had no unpaid leaves.

Also I dont see the 180days rule being mentioned anywhere for HSMP/Tier 1 General in the guidance notes for Set(o)/ilr-calculating-continuous.pdf. But in Set(o) form it asks for 'not >180d for any continous 12 months'?

I really need some help urgently! thanks.
