Hi guys,
First post, first time contracting. I've handed my notice in with my employer and am currently negotiating to get my first contract. Question is, with a holiday already planned in early next year for 2 weeks what's the best approach (bearing in mind between me and my missus we've already blown the 3k on the holiday so I won't be cancelling).
Do I,
a) Negotiate this with the agent and get it written into the contract so I'm not shafted down the line
b) Sign the contract and negotiate this with the client
c) Get a job down tescos until after the holiday
Reading some posts holidays seem to be a grey area for contractors. Don't want to end up taking on my first job and then finding myself in a mess in terms of not being able to take the time off.
Any help appreciated
Cheers,
Chris
