210 Introductory.E+W+S
(1)References in any provision of this Act to a period of continuous employment are (unless provision is expressly made to the contrary) to a period computed in accordance with this Chapter.
(2)In any provision of this Act which refers to a period of continuous employment expressed in months or years—
(a)a month means a calendar month, and
(b)a year means a year of twelve calendar months.
(3)In computing an employee’s period of continuous employment for the purposes of any provision of this Act, any question—
(a)whether the employee’s employment is of a kind counting towards a period of continuous employment, or
(b)whether periods (consecutive or otherwise) are to be treated as forming a single period of continuous employment,
shall be determined week by week; but where it is necessary to compute the length of an employee’s period of employment it shall be computed in months and years of twelve months in accordance with section 211.
(4)Subject to sections 215 to 217, a week which does not count in computing the length of a period of continuous employment breaks continuity of employment.
(5)A person’s employment during any period shall, unless the contrary is shown, be presumed to have been continuous.
