Interestingly I've got the opposite problem and I'm trying to ensure I get the 27-30th off as I'm already booked to be away then...

Originally posted by BoredBloke View PostIt's still a lot to take, having the client decide that your turnover will drop by 1/12th. I'm not there, so it doesn't effect me, but I'd be pissed off if I was. 2 weeks I'm happy with, 3 at a push, but dictating that you have to take pretty much a whole month off is a bit extreme. I bet they would kick up a stink if the contractors decided that they were having a month long furlough.

Just been told of a surprise furlough - unfortunately it's the end of the contract so it's also an early finish. Nice big surprise holiday it is!
Warm up the bench, chaps

Originally posted by mccark View PostUp until recently I hadn't heard of the word "Furlough" but next week I will be starting one. All contractors at RBS are being stood down from Dec 6th until Jan 2nd for the Contractor Furlough. Almost a full month without earning and with lots of outgoings... Gulp.
