Agency Temp Work/Annual Leave

connors07

Hi all,
I've got a scenario where a job agency is trying to force temps to take holiday between October to October. Given that due to Corona rules on carrying across annual leave were relaxed to allow holiday to be carried across to 2021 and 2022. Has anyone working at an agency or also working for an agency had any experience of this? If we all take it at the same time it will affect the employer negatively and may end up meaning one or some of us don't come back. I wanted to get paid for the holiday instead but they won't allow it but not budging on the Oct 1st deadline. Any advice will be welcomed.

An employer can always tell you when to take leave. Always.

Whilst the rules have been changed to allow carry over of holidays, the employer doesn't have to agree to this.

Perfectly legal, they're doing nothing wrong.

Are you working 6 days a week?  If not, take paid leave when you are not working, even if some is in single days.
