Holiday Pay
Under an amendment to the European Working Time Regulations 1998, from 1st April 2009 a contractor is entitled to 28 days paid leave per complete leave year, inclusive of bank and public holidays. He/she will accrue a holiday accrual of 5.6 weeks or 12.07% of their hourly rate for each hour worked. The accrued element will be displayed on payslips as "Holiday Days Accrued" and "Holiday Pay Accrued".

The holiday pay year will run from 1st January to 31st December each year.
The contractor accrues holiday pay from day 1 of the contract.
The contractor will receive holiday pay for the number of days they have taken (up to the amount that has been accrued). 
Any holiday not taken within the holiday year will be lost. However if a contract is terminated any accrued holiday unpaid at that point will be paid to the contractor.

Claiming Holiday
When a contractor takes holiday, he/she will submit a signed Holiday Request Form, authorised by the client, confirming their holiday request and confirming that the holiday has been taken.

The contractor is required to give at least twice the length of the period of leave that he wishes to take as notice.
Bank Holiday and Public Holidays shall count as part of the contractor's holiday entitlement if they are not required to be worked by the client.
If the client has a closedown and the contractor is not required to work, the closedown shall count as part of the contractor's holiday entitlement.
The contractor will receive holiday pay for the number of days they have taken (up to the amount that has been accrued).
