Nothing, as far as I can see, Noddy. Giving people extra money so that you don't have to give them holidays is 'rolled up holidays', and is illegal.
Overall, the document is pretty good. 2.5% is pretty much in line with last year's local giovernment deal. I'd like to see definitions of overtime added, though, like time and a half during the week, double time at weekends. I've seen contracts where these terms were not defined, and the amount of overtime that you got would depend on the client.
