No Notice Contract....Exit !

[Farmer jones]

What is a "Permmie tractor" and what are D&C 's ?

My Ltd company has three contracts. This is one. The other two are "Zero hours" although I am undertaking work for those clients; they call off the hours as & when needed.

I paid for the qualifications, not the client.

I have my own reasons for sticking around for four years; I don't see this thread as an IR35 discussion, neither do I need IR35 advice, thanks. What I am seeking advice on, is how to exit a contract without causing too much of a problem. The client wants me to come back in a year or two, and is willing to engage me direct, no agent / pimp in the future.

The client does not want me to leave, does not want to pay me the extra, understands my position and is not blocking my request. The issue is the agent.

Might just say FO to agent and gently go with the
clients consent.

You agree mutual date with end client. Client informs agent of new end date. Job done.

The only thing that makes it difficult is that the agent knows you are leaving....

Agent is the clients puppet. If the client is OK the agent will begrudgingly go along with it, especially if hes getting to fill the role again. It's not hard. Just get on with it.

Be fair.

Until the second page no one knew the OP situation and why the OP wants to leave.

The OP could have had a family issue or a serious personality clash with a new client manager.

Another valid reason why I'd think twice about committing to a whole 12 months. Its just sensible to think of the possible issues this could cause.

If client is happy/understands then no issue in my book. You've been professional, client is happy, from a professional point of view everything is covered off IMHO.

Agent is just crying and throwing his toys out of the cot because hes losing money. Tell him to grow up and suck it up - it happens.

You'd think after the mauling you got first time you mentioned this you'd kinda let it drop now. Everyone else seems to know this except you so not sure who you are trying to convince.

Erm.. Did you not read the post above yours?

I dont feel the need to read every post but I do know a bashing for the sake of it.

Point is, the OP didnt have a guaranteed 4 years work. He didnt even have a guaranteed 12 months. he had the client \ agency's right of termination with MOO (presumably) meaning next day off site.

I dont often agree with psycho but on this one I do. That, was my point.

I did that once as well.
