> I have never worked an hourly paid job in the UK that has paid holiday.

It has been a legal requirement since 1938, so hypothetical that is possible if you're in your mid 95 or older.

Turns out you're right. I can't edit the post as the time has passed.

I've actually just never taken holiday from an hourly job, since it wouldn't have made sense at the time (if I were aware I would have probably tried to fill the time with more work.. )

I assume then that I should have been paid in my final pay. Ten years back now, I've been contracting or salaried since.

Or, you know, never worked an hourly job.
