Permanent staff often wish to take their own holidays over this period. Furthermore, it is not uncommon for companies to experience peak workloads in the summer and so require extra staff. Summer employment also attracts students who may return as well qualified recruits to an organisation when they have completed their education. Ensuring that the students learn as much as possible about the organisation encourages interest in working on a permanent basis. Organisations pay students on a fixed rate without the usual entitlement to paid holidays or sick leave.” Statement 1 - It is possible that permanent staff who are on holiday can have their work carried out by students. Statement 2 – Students in summer employment are given the same paid holiday benefit as permanent staff.
