Termination Clause in Spring Contract

[ShandyDrinker]

Sod the termination clause - you're, in effect, a no notice gun for hire whoever you contract for. They can all get you out that day with no comeback; the agents will be on their side because they want future business/need to remain on the PSL.

Get it reviewed for IR35 compliance, which is far more important.

I've had a couple of contracts via Spring/Hyphen (or Pontoon as they are now). One contract passed the check fine whereas the other I had a lot of issues with - it partly depends on the end client as to the nuances of the contract which may make the review a pass or fail.

An IR35 contract review is the best possible advice.

I've known someone have a contract fail due to a time off request clause; the client didn't work that way anyway but the agent wouldn't remove the clause. He was advised that as long as he could prove working practices, the rest of the contract was a pass. Quite often the agency simply doesn't know how the client operates and is simply covering their own backside.

Most of them do now, but some word it differently. The scary bit being "without any reason" and not having to give any.

FWIW, Clause 9.3.2 gives the client just as much "carte blanche" to get rid of you anyway. They simply say that you're "unsuitable" and, since it's only their opinion that matters, that is that.

They don't even need that; "there's no work, don't come in".
