    Sure probably the yearly figure sounds nice but what price do you put on your soul?
    Contractors have accountants not souls!

      It means if he wants to sod off for 6 weeks holiday he can.

      In reality most people fail to take any holidays apart from about 2 weeks a year. A few then disappear for 4 to 6 months after 4+ years working for the company.

        Basically this but there is also a mandatory minimum. 10 days in the US but I will be hired under a U.K. employment contact so minimum will likely be whatever the U.K. minimum is now (4-5 weeks I think).
