Some person specifications require either a minimum or maximum amount of experience. To count this experience,
throughout the application processes time spent in posts / training programmes will be calculated using the formula :
number of days between the start and end dates for a particular post
X WTE
30
For periods of 12 months or more, the calculation will be, at the recruiter’s discretion, applied with a tolerance of up to
14 calendar days either way. This is to allow for such vagaries as 28 day months, fixed or staggered start dates, leap
years, etc. For periods of less than 12 months, the tolerance will be, at the recruiter’s discretion, applied with a
tolerance of up to 7 calendar days either way.
