Contract terminated without reason

[BrilloPad]

Up until 24 months an employee has very few rights. However, notice will need to be given and honoured.

Enforcing that could be fun.

We are talking about a new poster who probably doesn't understand that much - all he saw was work and he didn't look that closely at the details.

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...

Thanks eek, you're absolutely right. My knowledge of contracting is very limited, I was just looking for a bit of advice as I've always had perm roles in the past. Thankful for the advice I've received.

Yes but even in a permie job after 6 months if an employer says you're crap we're getting rid of you theres not a lot you can do about it.

Worked as perm once for company who couldnt be arsed to do redundancies properly. Made up crap about 4-5 people and said off you go. If you sign this compromise we'll give you "some" money. Nothing you can do about it ultimately.

After 8 months it's not because of your performance that they terminated your contract. If your agency claim performance issues probably they are not going to contract you again. If you are "burned" to them, contract a lawyer and "burn" them too and claim the notice period and more...

The two are not necessarily linked.
