So what is your advice? Should go for it and start contracting mid-year and then, if I think the project can cope with my absence for the week or two around the wedding (say, two weeks absence near the beginning of a 6 month contract), just inform them that I'll be away during that time...
Ok. So is 1 or 2 weeks contiguous absence considered acceptable in say a 6 month contract. Or does that still fall into the "I won't be on-site for the appropriate dates" category?
I'm a permie thinking about starting contracting this year (mid-year) but I have to attend a wedding in South Africa in late August. Is it possible/usual/acceptable to request a week or two of leave when negotiating a contract?
