first of all I don't have a contract and my work seems to change its mind whenever it likes regards holidays etc, I have been there 8 years and I'm trying to get a better job but it's not easy
anyway I normally work mon and tue, work was closed both days this year on 25th/26th and the 1st/2nd jan and I was told I have to use days from my holiday allowance if I want paid for those days
does that sound right?
