Notice
No one has mentioned the professional working day yet.
If I were to work 28 days that’s 28 professional working days I would invoice for and the length of such a day is often determined in the contract.
The client would expect you to provide a PWD. That being said, if you were to be given 28 days notice then you would reasonably assume to be provided 28 PWD's full of work.
Notice is notice and I would expect any talk of only giving you 10 PWD’s over a 28 day period would not be received well at any tribunal or court hearing.
Or maybe I am naïve?Comment

Factually incorrect
Originally posted by TheFaQQer View PostIf the utility companies do nothing for me, then they don't get paid. If I give them 28 days notice, but don't use their services, then I pay them nothing. The fact that I gave them notice is neither here nor there - they get paid for what they deliver, so £0 (assuming that there is no standing charge).
If I'm on a contract which pays for the days that I work, then if the client does not use my services then I would expect to receive £0 for that time. If I am expecting to get paid for not doing any work, then I'm a disguised permie and so should be taxed accordingly. They can give me any amount of notice - if I am not doing any work for them, then why should my company receive any money for it??Comment

Often wonder if the contract has come to an end and Brightonbreezy is still employed by his umbrella, would the umbrella company keep paying him NMW or will the umbrella company issue Brightonbreezy with a P45 as soon as the end client served notice.Comment
