    No notice contract

    Long time listener, first time caller.

    Seen a few posts where there is no notice period defined for the contractor to the agent, this is generally assumed to mean they have you until they are done with you, but reviewing my contract it states and i noticed something inneresting

    NOTICE PERIOD:

    Four weeks from the contractor to the agent
    I can find no other reference to the notice that the agent has to give to me, has anyone ever come across this before, I know with MOO they can say we have no work for you and here are your marching orders but it's not something I have seen before, although this is the first time I have worked in the finance sector.
    Contracting is like plumbing. You're your own boss until you walk into someone's house and they tell you to take your shoes off.

    Get your contract checked by a specialist such as QDOS or Bauer and Cottrell. They can tell you what's out of the ordinary and if it is they can negotiate it on your behalf.

      Welcome back Gittins Gal
      I was an IPSE Consultative Council Member, until the BoD abolished it. I am not an IPSE Member, since they have no longer have any relevance to me, as an IT Contractor. Read my lips...I recommend QDOS for ALL your Insurance requirements (Contact me for a referral code).

        Yes, a review is needed. One first step is to get "four weeks" defined - calendar weeks, working days, 28 days or more, lunar days, whenever the agent is in the office, whatever; it's a useful sanity check on the rest of their work...
