I emailed HR with the question about holiday provision providing the example of not working Mondays - got an out of office from HR person so I suspect they don't work Fridays - oh the irony

Letter from my small Dutch pension pot... I now need to jump through hoops to get it! I have to prove I have lived here for 30 years... Not easy! |

Thing is: Brexshit! Which means I cannot have this type of pension insurance. By the time I have paid ex pat, i.e. highest rate, tax on it in the Netherlands, then pay tax here, there won't be anything left 😭

Just started discussions with our pension adviser to set up a junior pension for our daughter, who turned 16 last week. This was my idea, they didn't suggest it. I started saving in pensions when I was 22, giving her an extra 6 years head start seems like a good idea. unbiased.co.uk |
