Zero Hours contract holidays

[pthierry]

Hello,

Does zero Hours contract mean that i am not entitled to any Holidays?

That what my employer told me but something i do not believe as few friend of mine are on the same contract with different company and they are entitled to holidays.

I joined this company and i worked on zero hours contract for about 3 months and last week they give me a permanent contract. when I asked them about my holidays they told me for the last 3 months i was not entitled to it and i will then be entitled to holidays from the day i signed my contract.

Is it normal ?

I am really surprise and pretty sure is not correct.

If anyone can advice me on this matter please.

Thank you.

They're trying to pulling a fast. You started to accrue statutory holidays from the minute you commenced the zero hour contract. If they don't provide them they're breaking the law.

 

Ring ACAS and discuss it with them.

The above is correct - you accrue paid holiday from the first day of work - the minimum requirement is to give you 12.07% of all hours actually worked
