Seasonal work is three months in the summer, two weeks at Easter and two weeks at Christmas. That is how it is constituted for the purposes of the grant. Six months is longer than that so would it impede students getting their grants? That is the question I am asking. In that case, they would have to fulfil the contract whereas now they have the flexibility to clock in and clock out. I am not being pedantic. It is something that was not raised today, but I thought about it off the top of my head. I had a case that I am trying to work out for someone.
