I do hope I am right and await clarification if I am not.

You are right TBT:
Way Forward
Section 6. Way of Working
13.4 The general principle will be that since the employees covered by this agreement are all in direct
entry grades, seniority is based on the length of individual service........
In all cases except as set out below, this will mean that in future seniority will be based on on the
date that each employee, whether full- or part-time, first joined the business.
