Holidays

If you work a standard 40 hour week then you are entitled to the equivalent of 24 paid holiday days per year. You build up reserves of pay for these vacation days. For each hour that you work 10.38% of your hourly rate is reserved to pay your holiday days. You can only be paid for holiday days from the reserves that you have accumulated. You can see clearly on your payslip how much you have reserved. If you notify us (on your timesheet) that you are taking holidays you will be paid for those days directly into your bank account. Ideally you should fill out a timesheet for your holidays (in order to request them to be paid) and fax or email this to us as normal.

It is important that your supervisor agrees to your vacation and that Adams’ is informed of this in a timely manner. Any excess holiday accrual that you have accumulated by the end of your contract will be paid out with your final salary payment.
