Withdraw from a contract

[Swamp Thing]

So you've not had your contract checked to make sure it's outside IR35 either??

Oh I'm sure the OP will confirm the clause is in there, but as so often happens, the client has no operational intention to abide by it.

I'm in the same position as the original poster, but my notice is 3 months. I haven't started however and still have 2 weeks until official start date. But have signed and sent over my signature, start date, etc. I guess it's too late to pull out now, even though I've found something a bit better?

Very strange that your contract is holding you to 3 months' notice. Is that a perm position?

Nah, just poorly negotiated.

Where there's a will, there's a way. Serve notice as per the contract and immediately phone in sick for the entire duration of the notice period.

Agent & client will be seriously pissed off, but you'll be "free" of the contract without, technically, being in breach and you'll never have to set foot on the client's site.

What part of a contract allows you to b sick but not breach the contract?
This is stupid ******* idea.
