12 week AWR

[dennyboycox]

TO GET THE 12 WEEK PAY RISE DO U HAVE TO WORK A CERTAIN AMOUT OF HOURS A WEEK RIGHT UP UNTIL THE 12 WEEKS??? SAY I WORKED 1 WEEK BUT THEN DID,NT WORK FOR 3 OR 4 WEEKS THEN WORKED THE FIFTH WEEK, WHEN IT GOT TO THE 12TH WEEK THEN WOULD I BE QUALIFIED?

You wouldn't be qualified for AWR after 12 consecutive weeks unless you actually worked every week. You need to do 12 weeks where you have actually worked and a time sheet has been generated. One hour is enough for a qualifiying week. If there is a break of more than six weeks in the qualifying period then you are back to week one again.

so it doesn't need to be consecutive? cant believe I turned down shifts this morning because I thought it meant my 12 weeks would start again

If it had to be consecutive I doubt anybody would be AWR qualified. Why would you turn down shifts if you are trying to get AWR qualified?

I wasn't expecting anything beyond Xmas tbh, so I didn't really care about any of this stuff - or reading up on it.

And then for some reason I got thinking about the 12 weeks thing, and that if it had to be consecutive, I would be back to week 1 if I accepted those shifts.

I'll take shifts if they're offered but I guess I'll see what happens.
