The answers are above - if you don't wanna hear them, apply and have your application rejected. If you use paid vacation time this counts. However, any unpaid leave does not count. So, if you have worked FT for 11 months and took 1 month unpaid leave - you need to work another month before you can apply. It's very simple.dannymp said:Thanks kaytea
I forgot to mention that my leave from work for 5 weeks in total. including 1 week in England (4 weeks back home + 1 week in England).
I did get my vacation pay with each pay slip but not for the days I didn't work.....
Is it still counts?? and okay?
The application, as others have stated, is not based on total hours per year. You need to work for at least 12 months, at least 30 hours per week (extra hours per week don't count towards total).
