Read your contract; suspect No, you will not be paid if you dont work; so holidays, moving, sickness, death, marriage, birth etc no work, no pay.
The contract will tell the OP whether you get paid holidays or sick pay. As another poster mentioned above, if they do it will be because the agency have deducted it from you in the first place. I suspect yes, but only because it's in my contract...
Request a payment breakdown from the agency and that will tell you for definite.

You may find yourself under more pressure to report hours worked too; assuming they are offering to pay you by the hour; dont accept a contract that suggests they will pay per day; and report hours worked... read between the lines, they charge for overtime and dont pay you.
Why on earth would you not accept a contract on a daily rate? Above a certain level of responsibility and earnings most contractors aren't clockwatchers.
