Contractors told that we are going to be offered permie roles

Last permie job I had offered between 20 and 35 days holiday - it was up to you how much of your flexible benefits package you spent on it.
My last year there, I took a month unpaid leave, two weeks paternity leave, and five weeks holiday (and carried ten days over to the following year, which I got as cash when I left).Comment

Show that you are keen but delay. Look for other work, make lots of calls, and turn up late one morning in a suit to get them worried.
Suggest renegotiating your contract instead of going perm. Small rate reduction, more hours, increased responsibility etc. Perm is just a super cheap contract; the 'benefits' are bulltulipe.
Ask to be made a special case. Tell them you have outside interests and are reluctant to commit "forever". Tell them you have a "meeting" with a potential client.Cats are evil.Comment
