Originally posted by NotAllThere View PostI'm not a lawyer, but that reads to me that if the client becomes insolvent, the agency can end your contract without notice, and without having to pay you any compensation or notice period for the immediate termination. It does not mean that they don't have to pay you for work already invoiced or work you've done (but not yet invoiced) up until the date the agency notified you of termination. Possibly (and this is where the opt out/opt in may be relevat), they don't have to pay you for work not signed off by a timesheet.
I.e. you should invoice them for the work you did up until they said "stop", and you should chase those invoices.
As others have said if the OP is an IPSE member give the legal advice line a call and see what they say, otherwise we would recommend having the contract reviewed prior to issuing any legal proceedings to recover the funds.Comment
