I won't take the thread off on a tangent but my little brother has been working through an agency doing labouring work on a construction site. He was being paid £1 an hour extra (so £45 a week as 5x9 hour days) for holidays. So if he wanted a holiday he'd technically been paid for them and would not be paid for the time off.
PM if you want but it seems strange (and I've seen his wage slips as his post comes to my house).
