I'm with sueellen, reason for termination is critical here. If project ended / no more work, then id check contract on t&c's, consider commercially whether you want / need that reference and the contract value to you "to date" versus notice period etc. Need a bit more info on why it ended...

You are the builder.
You're most likely going to pay some percentage of the whole cost up front to the builder (who has to purchase goods and materials) for some amount of building work you want him to perform.
Imagine you want your kitchen extended and it'll take 2 weeks. You agree to pay 25% up front with the rest on completion, but after 2 days, you fire the builder.
Do you think you'd ever see any "refund" from the 25% you've already paid?
You are not the builder.Comment

First time posting on here, and also my first contract role, so please excuse me if this is a dumb question:
My contract has been terminated early, and they do not need me to work my notice period, does this mean I can invoice the client my notice period?
You can always try. Read your contract and see what it says about early termination and notice periods. Talk to your agent first (helps if you're on good terms with him/her), as it will be the agent getting the money for you. Some people have succeeded (myself included), some not.Comment
