24 month rule

[malvolio]

Are you counting back 24 months from the expected (or intended) end of the gig? 'Cos that how it works, and none of your examples meet the 24 month rule assuming Loc A & B are far enough apart: Example 1 is 15 months, 2 is 18 and 3 is 21.

So ( and I know I'm going to regret this)...

Example 4
Loc A 10 months
Loc B 5 months
Loc A 18 months

From the end of the 3rd one, you have spent 19 months out of 24 at Loc A so no problem. Add a further 6 month extension and then you have to stop claiming.

Example 5
Loc a 10 months
Loc B 2 months
Loc A 18 months

Now you have 24 months at Loc A with a 2 month (or 17%) interruption, so fail on the 40% rule.

ok but your still going past 2 years ago to determine you've worked at A for more than 24 months. Theres only 22 months worked at A in the last 24.

No I'm not, Count back from the end of the 18 months. Of the last 24 months, working from the end back to the past, only 2 have been spent away from Location A, therefore you have failed the 24 month threshold. (((24-22)/24)*100) is 8%, a long way from 40%....

OK where am I going wrong here?

Another example.

Scenario 1

Gig 1 - location A - 3 months
Gig 2 - location B - 6 months
Gig 3 - location A - 15 months

Yes I get the bit about expected end date and count back 24 months from then. And completely forget about anything before then?

OK. Scenario 1 then above. Not even been location A 24 months so no issues.

Scenario 2

Gig 1 - location A - 3 months
Gig 2 - location B - 6 months
Gig 3 - location A - 18 months

Again the same.

Scenario 3

Gig 1 - location A - 3 months
Gig 2 - location B - 6 months
Gig 3 - location A - 21 months

In the last 24, 21 months at A, 3 months at B. Would this count?

I thought people within IT were usually fairly competent at following simple algorithms.
