Mandatory holiday for limited company contractors - British Law
Originally posted by Esp View PostHi guys,
I have a question about holiday for contractors having limited companies.
I have a contract for set amount of hours and prediction is that I will take all of them end of November. Client asked me if I would accept additional hours to cover December, if there is any need to do so.
This would mean I take literally few single days off this year (bank holidays, maybe not even all of them) but I don't mind and client would be happy as well. My question is, am I obligated by the British law to take a set minimum amount of a mandatory holiday per year, or can I work even every single day as long as me and my client agree for that? Am I also obligated to take bank holidays off? especially that my project involves comunication with different countries, which don't have bank holidays even if we have them?
My query concerns just the British Law as I do understand my contract.
Thank you in advance.Last edited by tarbera; 6 March 2018, 23:55.Comment

Originally posted by WTFH View PostWell, based on the previous thread, the agent/agency is not doing a very good job of explaining things and perhaps if someone else comes along and searches for information about them, then they'll see the issues this guy has.
The agent is probably trying to say it is custom and practice in the UK for contractors to take a minimum of 2 weeks off a year - whether this is for holiday, hospital appointments, sickness, family matters or whatever - and this is built into the client's budget. I suggest the OP asks the agent how many billable days have been agreed with the client this year. Also if you aren't caught under IR35 sometimes projects will have nothing for you to do, and therefore you should go home rather than sit there and bill them. You don't need to ask to do this."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment
