Client changing contractors to FTC

[SueEllen]

Don't see why they should. The contract role has evaporated so the agent will no longer have a hand in it. It's not like the client is deciding to swap so has to buy the agent out.

It depends on the upper contract.

I've managed to see a few upper contract agreements between clients and agents when I've been on-site. (Most of them have been the purposely left in eye shot on the desk/photocopy variety but one I was actually given it. It was in meeting on how to get rid of a supplier and they were checking whether when they engaged a new one this upper contract was better. ) Anyway a lot of them state if the contractor has opted-out and the client wants to take them on permanently they have to pay a fee of some sort.

I wish you'd stop arguing with facts and evidence. It's much easier to just shout that there's no way that a client would have to pay, based on nothing.
