Hi All,
I am having some trouble with the notice period on my contract. I have been working on a project for the past four months and the contract terminated early. There are a number of clauses on which the notice may not be paid but there is also this part of my contract which I am having troubles understanding (below). I think what this means is the agency can just cancel the contract and restart it with their client hence getting out of paying me my notice. Is this true?
The Supplier acknowledges that the continuation of an Assignment is subject to and conditional upon the continuation of the master
contract entered into between Modis and the Client (and which this Agreement is made pursuant to) (the “Master Agreement”). In the
event that the Master Agreement (or any part thereof) is terminated for any reason the Assignment shall cease with effect from the same
date as the termination of the Master Agreement (or any part thereof) takes effect and without further liability of Modis to the Supplier for
notice or payment in lieu of notice. Modis will endeavour to give reasonable notice (based on the period of notice given to Modis) in the
event that this clause comes into effect.
