Hi all
I'm currently on a long term contract with a huge partner for a year, which is due to end March 2017. I've had contact from the agency this week to ask me to extend my contract from April to June. I'm not thinking this far ahead to be honest, and I was sure the project I am on is due to finish in March. I double checked this with the partner who confirmed they have no plans to extend the project beyond March as it is all on track - also, they have not contacted the agency to extend. The partner also alluded me to the fact that, the contract term/dates between me and the agency could be different between them and the agency - for example, there could be the case where their contract with the agency expires at the end of the year. Has anyone else had any similar experiences? I'm trying to understand what is behind all this, ie could it be that the agency are trying to tie me into a longer term engagement with them (regardless of the customer/partner?). They also said there was no chance of a rate increase because the customer has fixed the rate (??) It all feels a bit underhanded?
Would appreciate any thoughts/advice.
Thanks
