AWR 6 weeks - with holiday - am I still Qualified.
Hopefully I can ask this here as I've been getting conflicting information searching threads. Do I lose my AWR status by going without work for 28 days or 6 weeks? It's been 5 weeks between shifts, I had 5 holiday days in that time frame and I'm hearing Angard want to re-vet me for Christmas work. Any response appreciated.

Reason: split from a Q/A topic - its okay to start new threads rather than bump old - in fact its better as it won't get lost

It's 6 weeks, not 28 days and I believe holiday will delay the clock by 2 weeks only, so you should still have a couple of weeks to go...

Thank you for responding. That means I'll not be bumped back to the lower pay for Christmas shifts then.

1.The 6 weeks gap counts from the week ending date not the date you worked.
2. You can delay your 6 weeks gap by many weeks as you want. I booked 1 hour's holiday pay for 1 week a few months ago and it delayed it by 1 week, so evif you want to delay by 1 week just book 1 hour holiday pay, no need to booked like 5/6 hours in 1 week, so clearly you'll be wasting precioud holiday hours when not needed.
3. Regarding the 28 days policy my consultant apparently stated "as long as you have made contact or worked once within every 28 days and this is logged on the system, your vetting is kept valid."
