I hope this is not a duplicate but having gone through many of the questions can't find one that quite covers mine: I have been employed by the same employer on two different 1 year fixed term contracts - Jan 2005 extended to Apr 2006 then funding ran out and was made redundant.

I claimed jobseekers allowance and was re-employed by them in Oct 2006 on another year's contract and still working for them but have been issued with notice that unless more funding is forthcoming, I will be redundant again at the end of this month.

This means that I have been employed by them for 34 of the last 40 months and, having read the BERR guidance, I can't decide whether or not that qualifies as continuous employment or not - can you help please?
