Dispute about length of service

[747]

I'm about to be made redundant and there is a dispute about how long I've worked for my employer.

I started on a temporary contract for 3 months and then was made permanent. My anniversary is November 19th - this will push my length of service to 4 years. My employer is saying that the initial 3 month does not count towards my service.

I've tried googling but can't find anything.

TIA

On what basis are they saying that?

Were you definitely employed by them during that 3 months, not an agency or something? No break in between?

definition of continuous service

You're very welcome OP, happy to help

I'm sorry flowery been offline

thanks for the link, they have said my initial 3 months was a temporary contract and therefore doesn't count

I don't have the energy to argue with them anymore

again, thanks for your help
