Holiday pay for contractor

[escapeUK]

Hi
I am new here so hello to all.
I have been working directly for a company as a contractor.
I have an agreed daily rate. Although I have no written contract, I am paid through the books with both PAYE and NI being deducted at source. They also pay employers NI too.
To date they have not paid any holiday to me or any public bank holidays. I have been working for them for over a year now.

Am I entitled to be paid for bank holidays and holiday pay too?

Many thanks for any help.

As someone else said, real contractors dont pay NI. Nor do they get paid holidays , at least not by the "client" anyway.

Sounds like you're an employee to me, not a contractor.

You are not a contractor, you are a permie.

Get some legal representation and come to an amicable agreement with your employer to ensure that you get a proper employment contract and employment rights as they are very likely to be acting illegally with the current arrangement.
