Isnt it the case that you will not be paid for the duration of the time you are on holiday ? If so, what is the problem?

The problem is that the client may have had plans for you to be present during that period, and may well see that presence as part of your side of the contract. Whether that is because he thinks of you as an employee who is required to be present unless his absence is authorised, or just because he requires the services of your company then, is irrelevant. He is very likely to see you as being in breach, and will act accordingly. Logic is unlikely to sway him.

If that and its consequences don't bother you, go ahead. At least you'll have the satisfaction of knowing that you are right.

I take holidays now and then...oh no!!! You mean I shouldn't do that!!
Seriously though, I'm sure most clients understand that...but as other posters have said...it may affect their plans and it is perhaps something that should have been mentioned sooner.

Before you attempt subtlety, you might want to try and grasp punctuation and grammar. You post like a Twelve-year-old.

I had the same problem a couple of years ago, got the offer and my desired rate so I told the agent at that point. Unfortunately they were due to put a release in over those weeks so I lost the contract. That said, the agent contacts me regularly now because he knows I can be successful at interviews (or I like to think so anyway).
