Part time job, refusing holiday pay

If you are an employee as opposed to a contractor you’re legally entitled to 12.07% paid holiday for the hours you work.

I don’t think anyone has successfully challenged this issue anyway, as it would involve an employment tribunal and a marked card for the rest of your life in work.

Are you claiming that if you win a tribunal against an employer – ie a court decides they are wrong you will never work again?

Is this really what people are reduced to accepting? Or just idle speculation on the doomsayers part?

I was describing what will most likely happen did my sad face emoticon not show I did not approve it ?
I dont agree with anything the subsequent poster said but that sad reality is a zero hours contract and they will just give you no more work

i would never defend it, think it is immoral and it should be illegal.

I get an extra 12% an hour on my wages at uni as its a zero hour contract in leu of holidays.

I had a small company try this on me. I asked citizens advice then went back and told the company they were wrong they agreed to pay holiday. Worked for them for a couple of years no probs then I moved on by choice. Don’t put up with it out of fear!

You couldn’t have done as Flaperon tells us no one successfully challenged this issue.

If i remember rightly from my university days, McDonalds used to operate a 1hr contract to enable them to do this, were challenged on it, and lost, should be somewhere in an archive.
