I work as a cleaner in a school for a large a large company. Regarding holidays I have to give 4 weeks notice,ok. I'm not allowed time off in term time and 50% of staff have to be in on the holidays for deep clean.othe duty time contract staff can take these holidays when they wish. This is not on my contract b t w. But two other cleaners have had time off in term time. Is this normal/ fare?

It is not unusual for non teaching staff in schools to be on contracts which restrict their leave.

A friend who worked as a lab technician had such a contract - 20 days leave to be taken during school holiday periods only.

Whether it is fair depends on how far you want to argue your point. Your union will advise.

The rules are generally agreed when the employee starts work so that everyone is in the picture. Days in school and out of school are therefore known in advance so it is not a case of restricting the leave. That was how things were in my day - and are probably so now, unless the Academies / Free Schools have changed their rules.

I teach in a college and there are restrictions on when I can take my holls, I don't get every holliday off, I have a certain amount of days that I can book with some restrictions.

It is how it is, look at your contract and see what it says, if there is a breach then you may be able to argue the point. If not you unfortunately will have to accept it or as harsh as it sounds look for something else.

Also bear in mind that other employees may have a different contract to you. With the company I recently retired from, longer serving members of staff, including myself, had had the option to opt out of working on Sundays. However newer starters didn't have that option.
