In Form 108, which is used for reporting the work undertaken during the article period, you should report the actual days worked and leave taken accurately. Here’s how you can approach it:
1. **Total Weeks Calculation:** - The article period is from February 2012 to February 2015, which spans approximately 3 years. - Each year has 52 weeks, so for 3 years, the total number of weeks would theoretically be 156 (52 weeks/year * 3 years).
2. **Leave Calculation:** - You mentioned taking 152 days of leave during this period. - To convert this into weeks (since Form 108 typically requires weekly reporting), you can divide the total number of leave days by 7 (since there are 7 days in a week). - 152 days of leave / 7 days = approximately 21.71 weeks.
3. **Actual Weeks Worked:** - Subtract the weeks corresponding to the leave taken from the total weeks in the period to determine the actual weeks worked. - Total weeks in the period: 156 weeks (3 years). - Weeks of leave: 21.71 weeks. - Actual weeks worked = 156 weeks - 21.71 weeks = 134.29 weeks.
4. **Reporting on Form 108:** - On Form 108, in the “Work Undertaken” table, you should report the actual weeks worked. Since you've deducted the leave weeks from the total, you would report approximately 134 weeks (rounded to the nearest whole number).
5. **Clarity in Reporting:** - Ensure that your reporting is clear and accurate. Use decimal points where necessary to reflect partial weeks accurately, especially when converting days of leave into weeks.
**Conclusion:** For Form 108, report the actual weeks worked after deducting the weeks corresponding to the leave taken during the article period. This approach ensures that your reporting is aligned with the actual duration of your article period and reflects the leave taken appropriately. If you have any specific guidelines or requirements from your regulatory body or employer regarding how to handle leave reporting on Form 108, be sure to follow those as well.
