hi need some help

i have been working for a company since start of september i do a waking night i want to take three days holiday but they have said that i only get 7 and half hours for each shift i take off but each shift i work for 10 hours (10-8) and my contract is for 30 hours a week so for example if i want 3 nights of i have to take 4 holidays please can someone explain to me if this information is right or not thanks

i think thats very strange. do you get paid by the hour? my waking watch are allocated 4 times the amount of waking watches a week. for example if you work 4w/w a week then you would be entitled to 12w/w off a year. best advice would be to take your contract to the citezen advice bureau.

hope that helps
