[RobArb]

Just got back from centerparcs, hoping to go camping in France in the summer, oh and doing the Gambia thing in may too:biggrin:

Planning a few long weekends/short trips in the UK this year, starting with the Lake District in March, then maybe Glastonbury/Wells.

 

It's been a while since I went, but if you're heading to Lanzarote 'Jameos del Agua' and 'El Diablo' (restaurant on a volcano) are well worth a look

A good example to show that we do all get holiday pay!

 

If your self employed and you go on a holiday (as long as your paying for it) then that means every job you do that year contributes towards it (and paying the bills while your away) so thats holiday pay.

 

Yippee, its all about the holidays really. Just had my weeks skiing, hopefully go to greece again in the summer but planning a bigger ski holiday next year, hopefully two weeks driving there and back and maybe switching resorts after the first week.

 

I like your logic Rupe but I think it's a crock. Sorry mate.

 

I'm self employed and when I go on holiday there is the cost of:

1. The holiday then the loss of earnings.

2. The loss of earnings whilst on holiday.

3. The loss of recommendations generated by being at work and being seen out and about.

 

Point 3 three only applies to small businesses that have to close for the holiday.

 

So the true cost I the holiday can be triple the purchase price of the hotel, flight etc.

I think Rupe was accounting for all those things when he said every working day contributes to the holiday

Yes, I am well aware of all of those things, your just looking at it from a negative point of view. IF you go on holiday and you can afford to do so (even taking into account all those things you mention) then those costs must be being covered by something? Assuming that something is all the hard work you have done throughout the year then that means you are earning enough to go on holiday, so for every job you do some is going towards your holiday so thats holiday pay.

 

Holidays dont cost self employed people more than employed people, thats just a negative veiw point. The employed get paid less each week so that they still get some when on holiday. The rest of us selp employed people get paid more on the days we work and nothing when on holiday but if we can afford a holiday then its paid for out what we earn so its no different.

 

Of course if a self employed person cant afford a holiday then thats a shame, but many employed people cant afford one either.

You should never think of a holidya as a "loss" of anything.

Wish I'd kept quiet. 😢

I may mull it over when I'm on holiday. 😂

Yes I think you're right.

[Rupe]

I guess I was being a bit philiosphical about it, but we all work hard and deserve a holiday, its a shame to think of holidays as a loss of earnings when they are in fact a reward for earnings.

 

Its a tricky subject though, try telling a customer that the reason there job was 500 and only took 4 hrs was so that you could afford to go skiing for two weeks over christmas. See how many cups of tea you get then! Not that I have been stupid enough to say anything like that!!
