Agency has unfair contract with 'employer'?

[cojak]

Thanks for your help, it is appreciated.

Also, I've been informed that the company has extended the contract with the agency - 3 months beyond my contract end!

Don't worry about that - what the agency agrees with the client is of no concern of yours. When the end date passes, your contract ends. No amount of sweet or sour words from the agency will change that basic fact.

If you don't want a new contract with them, don't agree and don't sign.

Don't sign new contract with them if you don't want it.

If you don't want a new contract with them, don't agree and don't sign.

I believe I have to inform that a certain period before the contract ends that I want to leave, or it automatically continues
I'll look into lawspeed... Thanks!

Sounds as if you might be working with Modis (Adecco group) as an "Employed Consultant" or similar (doesn't sound like the Hudson 23 month model).

As others have said if you don't like the agency, then at the end of your 2 years leave and look elsewhere.
If you like the end client and the 3 month extension will allow you to go perm with the end client at the end, if you can put with another 3 months with the agency, then stay but see if you can get agreement from the end client first.

Really?! They've helped me in the past - ah well, things change.

Try McKenzie Law Solicitors (based in Shrewsbury, but location doesn't matter) - they ought to be able to help.

I'm surprised at that - their website says
"Areas in which we can help contractor, interim and freelancer clients include:
IR35 reviews and advice
Contract drafting
Fee disputes and debt recovery
Breaches of contract
Restrictive covenants
Correspondence with HMRC"

Ho hum, there are others out there that will be able to help, though.
