Finishing Contract Early - project complete

[stek]

My plan B is gonna be Crystal Ball manufacturing...

Quitting contracts has no IR35 relevance...

Possibly it might. If you have a short notice period, one which an employer would never realistically give to an employee, then you could argue that it was an indicator that you were not an employee.

Didn't you get that from the original post???

That is gonna be a tough one to argue though. Notice periods come in all lengths. Why try argue that when you could turn it round in to a massive win by getting binned early.

All I got from the original post was a feeling of mild irritation and a sudden desire to become a keyboard warrior.

Too late.. Even that has been bobbed out...

Crystal Ball - Crystal Ball Manufacturers,Crystal Ball Suppliers & Exporters

I may be heading down a similar route...

6 month contract is due to end in the first few days of October; project will be complete in next 2 weeks, so there may well be nothing to do/invoice for - certainly don't plan to be picking up random bits and bobs which are nothing to do with contracted gig

So, have just started looking around, and looks like I may have a nice new gig lined up - but, they may well require a start date asap (actually, this translates to around 2-3 weeks)....this leaves a potential 2-3 week overlap to manage.

I am hopeful to negotiate this with new client, but have a 2 week notice period contract with current......as NLUK said, the 'perfect' scenario may well be to ask/get current Client to bin me when project completes

Remind the client that you've finished the work that was defined in the contract. You'd be more than happy to sit around twiddling your thumbs for the last couple of weeks and invoice for it, or if they'd prefer you could say goodbye now

and you will be happy to provide ad hoc support over the next few weeks for a fixed fee of x to include £y hours of support. Anything above that can be had for £z an hour if required.

Support contracts are one of the ways money is made for old rope. if you can get them go for it.
