Hi,
I'm hoping for some helpful tips here. My contract was recently terminated ahead of the end date with no reason given. Apparently it's in my contract that the client need not provide a reason. Since then I've tapped up a few contacts for roles which are mysteriously coming to an abrupt end when it gets to the point where the potential hiring manager needs to seek out a reference from my previous one. Now, I've not been told of any wrongdoing whatsoever. I suspect the reason for my termination was circumstantial (e.g. teams merging and therefore my services being surplus to requirements) however, it now appears as though I'm being "blackballed" by my previous manager.
Am I able to request the reason?
Should I use a subject access request (DPA) to request information relating to my termination?
Any advice would be appreciated.
Incidentally, when the contract was terminated they did give me 2 weeks notice but offsite and paid.
