    Compulsary holidays at Barclays ?

    Last year contractors at Barclays were required to take 10 days off in December. How about this year?
    If UKIP are the answer, then it must have been a very stupid question.

    Certainly the case at LBG (subject to project needs etc etc) I'm delighted, time with the family.

          You are not forced to take compulsory holidays. Permies are given that. You are ask not to work for a period of time. There is a big difference with IR35 looming over you. One can be a pointer inside, having it reworded could be a nice pointer outside.

            I have not heard anything yet ... If that is the requirement I would like to know ASAP to make plans...

                  Can't assume anything with some of the numpties that post on this forum. I assumed lithium had a clue how to run his companys' finances properly at first but look what happened there.....

                    Point taken. Terminology aside, is it customary each year for every contractor?
