Generally holiday time is prorated throughout the year. If the employment package includes 2 weeks of vacation and you work from Jan 1 through Jun 30, you have 1 week of vacation time with that employer. Entirely fair to use them, especially if vacation time rolls over and accrues year to year. I can understand the employer being an ass about taking holidays, a lot of American managers are, but perhaps the manager should first be looking at his employment vacation policies.
