Advice needed in dismissal

Peter Noone? He was great with Herman's Hermits.

Lola's banned, they won't reply.

[Sausage Surprise]

Oh my, you are still going on? And noone moved this thread yet?

Highjacking other peoples threads is not so nice.

The long and short of it is you are not and the employee, you're a supplier providing a service.

Suppliers can have a contract with a client stating that the client would like the supplier to provide some amount of service x for y months.
They can terminate the contract with 2 weeks notice, but if service x is not required in those two weeks the supplier doesn't get paid.

If you hired a builder for two weeks then decided after the first weekend that you didn't really want that extra wall taken down after all you wouldn't expect to pay for the second week would you? He'd bill for the first week and go off to the next job... He night have some interesting names for you...

You advised them you are terminating the contract, they decided to wave the notice period you are required to give them, whats more complicated than that?

Sounds a lot like the response given in Arkell vs Pressdram

[MrMarkyMark]

I'd want it in writing.

What, something like:-

Dear OP

#### off and get another contract.

Love and Kisses,

A Director.

Must admit the director seems quite sure

Given that the director (presumably the MD?) told him to "**** off" I don't see him caving.

As I said this scenario has happened to me a couple of times.

On one they gave and let me work the notice.
On the other told at lunch time, told to be offsite by the end of the working day.
