    capita resourcing notice period question

    Hi All,

    I am going to be engaging in a new contract and capita resourcing is the agency essentially. I am just looking over the contract and there doesn't seem to be a noticed period specified which would mean they can terminate me but i can't terminate them.

    One of the ways i can terminate the contract is via the following clause.

    By agreement with [CompanyName] and the Client on such period of notice as [CompanyName] and the Client shall reasonably require which shall be consistent with any periods of notice agreed between the Client and [CompanyName] from time to time.

    Does this mean i could terminate in a day as i haven't discussed anything with the client about this?

    Thanks

    Thanks,

    Get it off to QDOS for review and ask them about it.

        You do it for *every* contract.

                I did some research and I found this, hope it helps.


                "Notice periods

                You must be given a notice period before your employment ends.

                The statutory redundancy notice periods are:

                at least one week’s notice if employed between one month and 2 years
                one week’s notice for each year if employed between 2 and 12 years
                12 weeks’ notice if employed for 12 years or more
                Check your contract. Your employer may give you more than the statutory minimum, but they can’t give you less.
                "

                From GOV.uk
