I was working for the NHS on a fixed term contract - had 3 years continuous service from a number of contracts one after the other. However, when the last fixed term expired, at the last minute it was decided not to extend it. I managed to get redeployed into a different NHS post, but there was a 3 week gap between the jobs. I had been offered the new job before the old one finished, but I had an operation planned, so I took a few days off for that. I have now learnt that to maintain continuous service, the break must be no more than one week..... can anyone advise what are the benefits of continuous service, and whether it is worth complaining? I am a member of a Union - could they help?
