Holidays
As a subcontractor, you will have the choice of taking a holiday at any time of the year. However, it is recommended you discuss the holiday periods with the team and the Production Manager to avoid work overload and absence from work at busy periods of the year. We aim to provide a better life-work balance to every member of our team. Therefore, you may be asked to have a maximum of two weeks holiday in one go as longer holiday periods may strain the rest of our team who may have to work overtime during your absence.
