Maybe if you'd mentioned you were PAYE and on a fixed term 24 month contract at the start you'd have got better advice?

Yes, it was a fixed term contract and am paid paye. The contract seems to suggest they can't drop me without notice, except under certain circumstances (none of which apply) so i'm hoping there is some wiggle room when it comes to paying my final wage.'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!!Comment

Originally posted by goldilockz View PostThank you so much Andy, this is a joy to read. My contract states 30 days notice is required by both parties. I will definitely contact CAB on Monday though I think a lawyer would be a better shout at this stage. Thank you again, I'm glad to know that I have SOME rights after allLast edited by northernladuk; 24 June 2017, 17:25.'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!!Comment

Most contractors here are contractors (i.e. providing a contract for service) rather than employees on Fixed Term Contracts.
In your original post, it looks like actually you work via an Employment Agency, so your action would be against them. Make sure you are clear that you have an employment contract though, rather than a contract for services paid through an Umbrella company.Taking a break from contractingComment

Who is the fixed term contract with? (I am not convinced you do have one)
Is it with the emplomemy business or the end client?
In any event CAB should assist you in bringing a case to tribunal which is ultimately where it may go.
Without sight it is difficult to ascertain whether or not they are in breach of it procedurally or by performance (i.e. even if you were incompetent summary dismissal in the way it was made could very easily be procedurally fatal).
If you have legal representation available via insurance or perhaps union it may help. If not be aware that an emploment solicitot is hoing to be expensive.
Now, as to that contract...
It seems to me more likely you are in fact "a temp". Or you have been shuffled into an umbrella arrangememt.
It is important you are attacking the right party for the right reasons and you need to clear this up.Last edited by ASB; 25 June 2017, 05:34.Comment

Are you PAYE through the end client, PAYE through an umbrella company, PAYE through your own limited company, or something else?…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment

Its also why I think NLUK is unfair in stating that the OP only gave half the story. He wrote done what he thought was relevant - it was only his lack of knowledge that meant he gave us half the story.
Andy Hallett has however answered the question - if the OP is on PAYE the terms of his contract will need to be met...merely at clientco for the entertainmentComment
