You may think this is nothing but some religious people including Christians are very happy to take to the law if they think they aren't being allowed to have their most important religious days off. However having a quota doesn't mean employers aren't allowed to force you to take days off as holiday if they have an annual shut down."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

If you make it the end of the month then it's like an extra day off to recover from the payday piss up. I can see that being a vote winner.Will work inside IR35. Or for food.Comment
