    Filing County Court claim - can you add costs?

    I did the whole thing on my own for nearly two years, never having set foot in a court before in my life! I had so much going on in my life and then my dad died.

    new employee 2 days a week

    I took on a new employee for 2 days a week. She will have 9 days paid holiday a year. Is it right that for the first 3 months no holiday is accrued? The job initially was temporary as it was to cover for sickness for just 3 months. I now want her to stay on with us.
