Hi I just wondered if anybody could help with regards to my holidays..
I have worked for a family for nearly two years now and they have always been great with holidays. In my contract it says I get 28 days but have always had alot more as they have taken more time off. They have picked 90% of the holidays which I have been fine with as I was getting so many more extra days.
The problem now is the job has turned into a nanny share on 3 of the 5 days I work for them and the new family are very keen to make sure I get all of my holidays and no more. They have said I get to pick 50% of the holidays and both families should get to pick a week each which is fine. However both families have extra holidays booked in when I am available to work. For example they have both picked a week each for next year but have also said I will have 9 days off at christmas and an extra week at another time in the year.
Is it unfair of me to still be expected to be paid as I am available to work but they will be away? I couldn't afford to miss a weeks pay.
They have also informed me I won't be needed a day in two days time as they are off, again should this be taken from my holiday entitlement even though iv only been given two days notice?
I hope this makes sense! Any help would be appreciated!
