Hi all,
I started a 3 months contract back in the middle of May. As part of the contract the client is allowed to terminate my contract with 5 days notice before this period.
Yesterday I was told verbally by the client that I would be let go and not to come in the following day (i.e. today) There was no written notice to terminate the contract prematurely. I was to leave within the hour.
The reasons for this were down to:
- Me not meeting to the client’s expectations (although it can be argued that their expectations were always changing with goal posts always moving.) I had been given the ok as I went a long wrt to my work only to be told no, this is not ok after.
I have been in touch with the Agency and they have stated that if the client have not given a notice, the client may claim misconduct against me. I am still waiting to hear back from the Agency.
My questions:
1.) This is bound to be a common case with prematurely ending contracts against the signed contract. What is the point of me signing the contract? (I had passed the trial period). How should I be acting in this case?
2. ) I have only worked here for less then 6 weeks. Do I need to put this on my CV? I would rather not, but I don’t want any future employer picking this up in a background check – if this is possible?
Thanks.
