Contractors told that we are going to be offered permie roles

[Jeebo72]

1. I take, on average 15 days a year. Any more and it hits the take home too much.

.

Is that all? I take on average about 40 days! Surely one of the benefits of contracting ... I think most permie jobs will give you about 21, with the offer to sell back about 5.

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).

I’m being pressured to become an employee

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.

They want you to be motivated by something other than money...

What, like stupidity?

permi jobs must give you at least 20 plus 8 bank holidays (or 28 freely chosen days) with no chance to sell back days from the minimum figure

depends on what rate you are on and how much you spend.
