If you aint already done so contact your consultant and explain you aint had any shifts for 5 weeks and state that you need a shift prior to next week otherwise I'll lose my AWR, hopefully that will trigger him/her to offer a shift. When you email Angard Payroll you recieve an automated message of which this is stated: "If you have a break for more than 6 weeks you automatically loose your AWR entitlement and your weeks worked is reset to zero." Moreover, if you don't work for 28 days+ then Angard can remove you from their books and perhaps ask you to re-do the security vetting by attending a recruitment event involving you demonstrating your documents. However, even if you don't get a shift within 28 days but communicate with him/her then the 28 days clock will re-set, so you get an additional 28 days to get a shift. This can be done for a maximum of 3 months/ 90 days ( I presume this is 3 months in a row), then you need to get a shift.

Hope this helps.
