18 months working for one client

[SimonMac]

Hi There,

I have worked for 18 months one the whole full time for one client.
After declaring his love for me he has now terminated my work without any warning.
He also feels like he owns all my IP.
Do I have any rights?

Pay / Holiday / unfair dismissal / IP

Thanks LJ

A/S/L, a picture would help too

Are you a contractor in the sense of having a day rate, and invoicing for your time, or are you on a 'fixed term contract' - i.e. on the company's payroll?

If the latter, you may have some employment rights in terms of being paid for accrued holiday etc.

If the former (which is what NLUK is assuming) then no.

No. I'm sorry to be the one to tell you that he never loved you either. None of ourclients ever truly love us contractors and to be completely honest, most of the contractors are only in it for the money, not love too.

I know you are probably feeling quite shocked and hurt by all this but you have to smile and wave and move on to the next client. To get your revenge, make sure you charge the next client more money so whenever you feel dirty or used you can just think of the money.

Works for me anyway...

24 hours and no return? This troll is rubbish.

Did he get you pregnant?

Did he get you pregnant?

If he did we can assume he opted in. If he had opted out she would have been ok
