To be fair, it won't be a one day contract. I'm working with the directors and will be directly involved with all aspects of the programme I'd be leading, so I'll see when the writing is on the wall.

I would have no problem signing off a reciprocal notice period for a contractor who had demonstrated his value and I wanted to renew for 12 months.Comment

The term in the contract around MoO that helps IR35 is something like..
The [Employment Business] is under no obligation to offer future contracts to the [Contractor] and if it does make any such offer, the [Contractor] is not obliged to accept it.
The key factors which determine your IR35 status

and so on.'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!!Comment

Really? I thought MOO dealt with work in the existing contract, and that's how companies can furlough staff. "Don't come in over Xmas, there's no work for you to do."And the lord said unto John; "come forth and receive eternal life." But John came fifth and won a toaster.Comment

There is to some extent but we are also one T&M basis so no work no pay which is detailed in the contract. MoO deals with the issue of an over arching contract of employment do can't exist between assignments.
The details are a lot more complicated than that but that's how i see a quick summaryLast edited by northernladuk; 22 January 2016, 16:40.'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!!Comment

They therefore either:
1. Ensure the notice is one or two weeks if they have a history of having projects canned early, OR
2. Make up a false excuse to get rid of you, OR,
3. Find a real excuse and document it to get rid of you, OR,
4. Get a mutual agreement which one party writes down for you to go.
1 can mean if there is absolutely nothing to do they bung you a few quid, while 2 and 3 makes contractors angry. Though in the cases where 3 happens they tend to make sure there are at least two witnesses including one who is independent."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment
