Contract Terminated

[cojak]

Thanks for your response 'cheese slice'...
Good question.. I'll have to check the actual wording, but i believe it states 1weeks notice by either party, but the point is - as i mentioned to the doc "l imagine i would be sacked for taking time off" he said "that would be unlikely, as you are under medical supervision" (i.e. under doctors line/medication).

That's for permies. You're not a permie, you're a contractor* - they can get rid of you for whatever reason and if they give you the notice stated in your contract that's all there is to it.

(Unless you think that you're a permie but it just hasn't dawned on you yet, that you're not..)

I'm sorry to point this out to you when you are ill, but you have no relationship with the multi national. Your Limited Company is your employer and its relationship has been contractually separated. That is one of the points of going Limited? You are still employed by your Limited Company but it's contract had been terminated.

You are aware of the 24 month rule aren't you?

I'll bet he's on a FTC.

Oh Dear....

But he says clearly he is contracted as a limited company in his post?!?

Well, you haven't been sacked unless you sacked yourself. Your client has terminated its contract with YourCo as it was unable to fulfil it's contractual obligations. I assume you couldn't send a substitute?

It sucks, sorry you lost your gig, but tulip happens. It's part of running your own business and is part of the reason we get paid better than permies.

Thanks,
Well that's that then... Thanks everyone for your responses, to be honest after 2➕years in the company, it's a relief to be released... It saved me from having to make the decision.
Many thanks again.

That's the only reason I could see for this thread.

Why else does he think like a permie?

LOL got me with that one...

Maybe it was a round the houses way of asking HMRC to come a knocking...

So you got legal advice from a doctor?

You'll be asking HMRC for an amputation next.....oh!.....wait..... you are already in the queue it seems
