Hi all,
I'm here in brussels working on a contract when just after 4 weeks into gig I get sent a letter from my management co. who are doing my payroll with an amendment they've just received from the agency.
Basically they want me to sign an amendment to the contract which:
- defines the first 4 weeks as a trial period where client can terminate the contract without notice and for any reason
- reserves the right for supplier (i'm assuming the agency) to terminate agreement on 15 days notice (which can be abridged if client doesn't give the supplier enough days notice)
- I can terminate contract by giving 15 days notice provided client agrees to this in writing and notice is sent by recorded delivery
First question, huh?
2nd q. Is this fair (for me)? it doesn't look it? I can only leave if the client agrees - I don't want to leave so not a problem really.
3rd q. does this matter? The 4 week period is already passed.
I have a good relation with the PM, I'm just wondering what will happen when dev. goes to system testing, I might be twiddling my thumbs for the best part of a month and then the PM might start getting ideas.
Any ideas?
thanks
