Vacation over statutory days

[2angels]

Hmm, I've stated in my policies that vacation time is 5 days unpaid and should be taken as a full week, eg. Mon-Fri. What would you do in my case? Should they pay no fee for the whole week including stats or pay the stats and take the balance of the week another time? Either way, it's the same loss of income for me.

IMO if in your contract it states the above than NO I would not charge them if a stat falls during that time frame and just count the 5 days as their vacation including the 'stat' ... after all you still get to be closed and get your 'day off' so your need is met. IMO if make them pay the stat and than you let them take the balance at another time it could open the door to problems as it 'contravenes' your requirement to take the vacation in a one week Mon-Fri increment and will set precedent for later interpretation of clients that well you let me break my vacation up last year and use an extra day here or there so why can I not do it this year and so forth ... personally your clients should be grateful to just be getting unpaid vacation days cause i personally find it way to hard to budget for sudden loss of income this practice results in so clients do not get 'unpaid vacation' on their end ... they pay for the space they occupy.
