Hi All, I am also in same situation. One of my employee was on payroll for throughout seven months period and had 20 days unpaid holiday, and hence he has received for actual work done for those two months, as a result salary for two months was less than normal. It was continuous job as per HMRC and employment law, However I'm concern about HO. Will it acceptable to HO as continuous job for six months?

Appreciate a prompt reply!

There is no such a thing as 6 months continuous employment requirement. The employment created can have breaks in them. Just enter the periods separately on the form.
