Unfortunately we can't take holidays during the school ones and that's the way it has been for a while. Not through affordability but because my OH has to work those times on contract through all of them without a choice. The best we can do is the second week in September to meet with my sister and her family that also have to take time from work and have to travel from Canada. I'm worried that we will be denied that time by my daughters school even though it's the first absence she will have had in 2 years. She's almost 11 and I know education is important and it's short notice to give them but this time will be important as a family also. Schools seem to think one size fits all and you are a bad parent for not taking holidays in the time they say. Not all parents can do that. Just as not all parents can afford the 'trips' away that schools organize but the rest left behind aren't getting the same education either and are left in the classroom as 2nd best. It suits them then that certain children can be absent and to have a 2 tier education. It's booked and I guess I have to face it when it comes to it. OH has booked the time off and got moaned at even though it's it's first in over a year and well in advance. He may not have a job to return to but that's life and sometimes family counts for much more.

Hi. I'll keep this simple. I was made redundant in August last year. Around 2 months later my ex employer sent me a letter saying I owed them £300.00 for overtaken holidays. They have since reduced this figure to £160.00 as the first amount was an error on their part. I have checked my contract of employment and it does say they can deduct any overtaken holidays from my final salary. The fact is they failed to deduct the amount they now say I owe them. My query is that If the contract says they can deduct from my final salary but don't, then can they pursue me for this amount? Thanks Ots
