Do holidays interrupt the year of skilled work?
Hi, the federal skilled worker program requires at least 30 hours of work per week for 12 months. If I had a week of holiday duing the employment, will this interrupt this weekly work requirement, or does it use the average? Thanks

Count up the number of hours you have actually worked. You need 1,560 hours minimum. 
Most full time jobs in the UK are a 37.5 hour week ..

https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration...ml#skilledYour skilled work experience must be
- in the same type of job (have the same NOC) as the job you want to use for your immigration application (called your primary occupation)
- within the last 10 years
- paid work (have been paid wages or earned commission—volunteer work or unpaid internships don’t count)
- at least 1 year of continuous work or 1,560 hours total (30 hours per week)—you can meet this in a few different ways:
- full-time at 1 job: 30 hours/week for 12 months = 1 year full-time (1,560 hours)
- equal amount in part-time work: for example 15 hours/week for 24 months = 1 year full time (1,560 hours)
- You can work as many part-time jobs as you need to meet this requirement
