Yes you are fully entitled to holiday pay from your current employer

You will get nothing from the end client mind you

Just to be clear, you won’t be paid for the time you don’t work even if they keep you on.

Oh and it's terminate not cancel. They can't just cancel.

Your what?? I thought you said you were a contractor. My bad.

Well you said you were a contractor (despite what you put in your first line), which would indicate you have a contract. If you read that contract you will find your answer in there. You should already have done this before you started and understood it thoroughly. You work, you submit a timesheet you get paid. If you don't do the first, you don't get any of the rest. Period. It's not hard. You don't get holiday pay as a contractor either.

You really do need to understand what you are and what you do better. Even a basic understanding would have answered this for you. It's pretty fundamental to what you do.

You get paid based on signed timesheets
You don't get holiday pay from your end client, nor are you entitled to it.
