Hi,
Some advice required if possible.
I am currently employed within IR35 regulations, working for a client through an umbrella company and an agency. As of now, I have completed six months of a 12-month contract. However, due to the recent changes in my personal circumstances, it has become necessary for me to seek alternative employment opportunities.
Upon reviewing my contract, I noted that it states, "No provision for early termination." In light of this clause, I am uncertain about my options for leaving the contract before its intended completion.
Considering my employment status within IR35, and thus having the same employee rights as a regular employee, I am wondering if I can provide notice to terminate the contract and subsequently negotiate a mutually agreeable timeline for my departure with the client. While I believe the client will be understanding of my situation, I am also keen on ensuring that I proceed in accordance with all legal requirements, and would like to safeguard myself legally in my dealings with the agency.
Would anyone know where I stand with leaving my contract early?
PS I also intend to seek advice from a legal representative to clarify my rights and obligations
Thanks
