How Much Time Off At Xmas ?

[SimonMac]

Working all through except for the bank holidays, trying to clear beds in an acute hospital...

We forget some on here have real jobs

20th - 6th for me, but it's only 7 days vacation for me and I'm rolling another 10 over to next year, so in theory next year is a 43 week year :-)

September 2014, 20th Year MF working Anniversary. Expect a contract reboot.

[TykeMerc]

Nothing enforced but I'm told no-one will be in over the 2 weeks 20/12 - 6/1 which is fine by me, I won't be in either

[MyUserName]

I will be off for two weeks

[Halo Jones]

18 Dec to 6 Jan, a nice break (and a permie fully paid one at that)

[Dallas]

Exceptions raised by the PM - we are all coming in.

Life on the edge

[Scrag Meister]

No work 21st Dec to 1st Jan inclusive.

ClientCo actually told a load of other contractors to take an extra 10 days in December, luckily I had already booked mine and they couldn't do without me for the whole month.

Our contracts already say that we have to take 25 days a year, presumably re trading and other government/banking requirements.

Well, I start my new contract this week, but am still planning on two weeks off over Christmas.
I was asked in the interview if I had any hols booked and mentioned my intention to have 2 weeks off at Christmas so no surprises for client co.

Although traveling by train from London to Manchester on Friday the 20th should be fun!
