Note: This is not, repeat NOT, a 'should cms charge for their hols' thread.

I have a contract that says both I and the CM can have 4 weeks each as unpaid. CM and I are both having 2 weeks off in August.

First year I had NOTHING as couldn't afford time off. Since then I've put in contracts that I have 4 weeks unpaid as it's important to have breaks for everyone's sake. This year I'm having 12 weeks but this is maternity leave so I've had nothing as normal holiday time as such.

Haven't worked a whole year yet, but I would guess 4 weeks a year, 5 including week between christmas and new year.

I have taken 2 weeks already this year and will be taking another week in October.
