Get off your "Old Man of The ROV Ages podium". Your bluster and bullying is not welcome and serves no purpose. The guy asked a legit question and deserves a comeback without your T-Bag of hot air.
The uplift/holiday bonus is NOT determined by the agency. They can convey, if requested and if they feel like it, a request for the bonus from the employing company. It is determined by the company providing the work. Sometimes it is as stated : full extra day for the four days, sometimes not offered at all, sometimes some days are bonus or some days are half rate bonus.
The bonus , like most contract peripherals (travel pay, expenses limits, standard of hotel accommodation) is contingent on whether the industry is in a busy period, what location in the world you are deployed, what the company is presently offering its regular staff — mainly by whatever they believe is the minumum required to get you to accept the contract and get on the plane.
If you take anything away from the above exchange, this bit will serve you well :
"Don’t ask us…. ask the comapany you work for… before you go out over Christmas and New year."
With that at least you’ll have no surprise.
