    It is up to them if they want to pay for this or not. If no work is being done they may have no money to pay this.

    You are entitled to take holiday but will have to abide by any conditions that require you to agree holiday dates in advance. 
    Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Some rules may be different in other parts of UK.
