Hi,
I posted a reply on the other forum - so you should probably pick it up there....
All depends on what your contract says..... If you have one, of course
and also on how many contributions have been paid to your SI account.
I've worked with some companies that pay your holidays directly rather than having to claim from SI.
By request of Pete - here is the info........
You have to have 12 months contributions paid up within an 18 month period (I think it's 18 months anyway), then you can claim your full holiday entitlement from the SI. You complete the holiday request form and they pay you all 3 weeks holidays in one payment.
One lady who I worked with at another company told our boss, she wanted paying for her holidays as he hadn't paid our contributions when she took her hols in August last year - and that she would pay him back, when the SI paid up for her holiday claim. He did too!
