How many days holidays?

Nope; not only does she not get paid for holidays but she has to pay for her cover out of her own pocket.

I know the feeling, such is the lot of the self-employed service provider.

A slight twist to the thread but any self-employed on AAM care to pitch in what holidays they give themselves?

Zero days.

Whenever I've have to go somewhere, I always bring my laptop and do work while I'm on the train or in the hotel etc.
We have no choice because to hire someone would make us uncompetitive.

My wife gets 27 days hols a year but can then buy additional days for 35 euro per day. She never has but she has a colleague who travels around the US nearly every year gigging with his band at Irish music festivals who usually buys an additional 2-3 weeks hols most years.

I've heard of people taking unpaid leave but having to pay to take leave. That is GUBU.

That's a super deal! Do you mind me asking what type of company this is?

I'm confused here

Without doubt the 27 days is fantastic

But does your wife have to pay €35 per additional day AS WELL AS losing a days pay for that day? I don't see why this is great if this is the case.

Is your wife not entitled to the state maternity benefit?
