THIS YEAR, 4 whole years after I changed my hours I was told that it had finally been sorted and that I would get a couple extra holiday days because of it, but yesterday my manager informed me that I won't be getting paid for my previous or upcoming holidays because I'm at -6 holiday hours currently. Why? Because they still havent corrected my contract. I've been assured that it's been sorted now, but that theres nothing that can be done about my holiday pay. It all just feel like one giant piss take.

Edit: sorry for typo in title I'm on mobile
