Terminating Contract Early

[JRCT]

No, I have worked 60 days and this is an extension.

Offer to work every Friday for the next 120 weeks. Then negotiate your 'life-changing' contract to 4 days a week.

How do I do this? Do I simply say "Hi meet Dave, he is my substitute"?

Pretty much, yes.

"This is Dave - he'll be taking over my role here. Dave's been a senior widget wangler for many years, and has the same kind of skills I provide when I wangle your widgets. Since Dave is contracted to my company, I'll still be available for him to contact me, and obviously my company is still liable for everything in the same way that it was before when it was just me. But it won't be a problem - Dave is as close to a like-for-like replacement as you'll get to me, so you're in good hands with him as an individual but still backed by the same quality service that my company has always provided"

Or something similar.

What happens if you provide some random person who has no clue?

Is someone trying to offer you as sub? Grats!

As TF said, the Ltd that signed the contract to provide services is liable for ensuring that those services are provided satisfactorily. If a sub is brought in who has no clue it's the same as if the original worker blagged the interview and had no clue once they actually got in.

Do you even think before you start typing or is it actually quite hard to post something this stupid?

just the man, could I use you as a sub? If you don't speak much they might not realise you are a complete moron for a few hours.

It depends on what your contract says.

For example, my current contract says "The Company shall ensure that the Consultant(s) and itself shall exercise reasonable skill and care in performing the Service." so if I provided someone who was clueless, then my company would be in breach of that clause because it is not exercising reasonable skill and care.

Most (if not all) of my contracts have something similar, and ensure that any contractor provided must have a suitable level of skill. If not, then the company is in breach.

Thanks for that civilized reply.
