Retrospectively Claim Holiday Pay from Client

[Swamp Thing]

I only ask this because I once had an interview at UBS where they told me that they axe all contractors at 2 years because 'once' a guy successfully got them to payout Holiday pay after he left......

Perhaps the mug was operating inside IR35? Sounds like small beer to me, not worth the fuss.

Hi again,

I have another odd question.

Has anyone out there ever claimed for Holiday Pay after leaving a Client?


I understand that under IR35 - since you are taxed as perm you should be able to make a claim although I think it is only possible if you have worked there more than 2 years.

Does the contract say you are entitled to paid holiday? Even if it does, unlikely if the contract has ended.

If you're working thru a Ltd, then certainly not. If you were thru a brolly and since they are therefore your employer then maybe but probably doubtful once you've left.
