I think it's when you work for something like a council.
Where your employment can be transferred over many different departments.
It's continuity between departments. So if you've worked for the council for 20 years, but across various departments, your redundancy is still for the full 20 years served.
I used a council as an example but other companies also do this. You may have to move to another company within a company but your service record moves with you.
I may be wrong? But that what I think it is?
