The contractor would be able to use his own money a lot more usefully, than the Umbrela!! It's just being downright lazy, and complaining that they have spent all thier money and can't go on Holiday!!

Especially if contractual obligations meant they couldn't take holiday in that year and they were only allowed to carry forward 5 days to the next year.

If its good enough for a real company then surely its good enough for an umbrella.
