Immediate Termination from Client without serving Notice

...

If they pry further just give say it won't happen again because the person is dead.....

OK you can say something less drastic but death normally shuts people up.

I have to say SueEllen, that is the funniest thing I have read here and I am still

Glad I cheered you up.

Though don't say your grandmother or grandfather has died unless you have a few of them.....

Sadly, I don't have any more so I guess I have at least 4 excuses that are true forever.

You only get 4 grandparents. But there's no limit to how many cats you can have.

Well this was my 4th week here and i never took a day off .....

If you mean that you've worked 28 straight days then fair enough. If though you mean that you've worked 4 x 5-day weeks and taken weekends off, then that's what's known as a "normal working week" and nothing to brag about....

He wasn't bragging - just answering someone else's wonderings with regards to time taken off. Of course, as you say, being only 4 weeks in doesn't put you in a good position to be asking for time off with no notice.

Seriously, is anyone really falling for this? The chimp goes from pidgin engleesh to:

Well, I joined this contract 4 weeks ago, no indication on my quality of work. Even in my final meeting client said, it is not a reflection on my work its just a mismatch of timing.

So its highly unlikely they were unhappy with my work.

It's some sad sack building up a sockie.

[Scrag Meister]

Wow, that is a totally non-understanding client.

Stuff 'em, be where you need to be, it won't be the client who will be there in future decades.

Sounds like you are lucky to be out of there.

Priorities, frustrating to lose the contract but hey, welcome to contracting.

Family before Fees.

A question to the rest. How did you manage to get rid of the 'Unsatisfactory performance of contractor' clause from your respective contracts?

If you haven't, aren't you in the same boat?

As TF already explained, such a clause is as mute as all other clauses specifying termination notices. Even if you can remove it from the contract, the customer can get rid of you with no notice and no liability by simply not giving you work and not signing your timesheets.

Personally i pay no heed to any termination clauses, other than how much notice i have to give and always treat the customer side as 0 day.

Any contractor worth it's salt is prepared to lose his/hers contract as of yesterday and not whine about it, as this is business. If you don't like it, go permie.
