      Then he was an idiot (especially doing it the second time). It's not hard to get yourself released from your notice period, and in worst case, you can always get yourself fired. (This doesn't work for b2b contracts).
      Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

                i hope this is the correct section.

                I have a contract between myself and a client through an agency. One of the clauses in the contract is that I may not provide services to the client either directly or indirect for a period of 12 months after the currect contract terminates. If I do supply services to the client not through the agency, then the agency will be entitled to charge the client a fee.

                I am looking in to contracting directly to the client after the contract finishes, any idea if they would actually go ahead and try and charge the client, if so do you think it would be a set fee or they would try and calculate a percentage for any hours Ive worked for the client directly?

                Surely this wouldnt stand up in court if it ever went that far?

                Has anybody got any experience of this?

                Thanks
                Ask yourself this:

                How will the agent know that you've started working directly for the client?

                After all, I'm sure you're not going to tell them, are you?

                  More importantly. The agent needs evidence not just knowledge.
