I thought any reference period for WTD had to be a rolling period. Can be set at anything i think, an old employer used 17 weeks as it meant they could make it work for them.
I’m no expert though!!

As far as I’m aware it can be either a fixed or rolling 26 week period so you’d be better off asking your employer :wink:
