Thanks for the link Kevin, I know that continuing rolling contracts build up and accrue the same rights as permeant employees. It is the contracts where the employer deliberately ensures there is a break between them so that they do not roll on from each other that I am not sure of. My understanding was that this is against the spirit of the law but not technically illegal. I will have a good read of the link.
