To answer the actual question.
The brolly *should* structure the way that they pay you so that you receive holiday pay as required by the Working Time Directive. Brollies used to ignore this and aggregate the holiday pay into your hourly rate, after having you sign a form to say that you agreed to this process. The courts recently rulled this method of paying holiday pay as illegal.
Any brolly that doesn't have a scheme which pays you holiday pay properly (from a legal viewpoint) is asking to be sued, sooner or later.

Sorryguys,
at the start I was PAYE through the agency and on my payslip I was getting £1 something per hour for holiday pay.
I am now with an umbrella company working with the same client.
My timesheet doesnt say anything about holiday pay.
How is it normally dealt with by a brolly company?
Cheers, David.

I have been contracting for the same company for about 15 months now, made up by several contract extensions.
The length of the contracts have been a combination of 3 months and 1 month at a time.
I was told that as a contractor I should get paid holidys from my agency as I have been on the same contract for over 6 months. Is this the case???
I was under the impression that contractors dont get paid for holidays.
I think I get paid holiday pay in my hourly rate, £1 something per hour.
Surely that must be it then, yes?
Have I just answered my own question??

Surely either your ltd co or your brolley pays you.
I you've got a ltd the pay yourself from your stash
If you with a brolley then some brolleys deduct an amount from YOUR income to give back to YOU when your not working for the client.
