Morning:
I have been contracting with my current client now for 2 and a half years and never had an issue. I've even had a rate increase and been told how important my work is to the client.
Recently a new PM has started on the project and has changed everything. He now books meetings outside the clients core hours and expects everyone to attend. Fair enough just suck it up.
In the last couple of weeks though he has been making comments behind my back about what time I get into the office. (Hourly paid not day rate) and as I've been hugely affected by the Northern Rail fiasco, he has even been questioning whether or not my trains are late or I'm just using this as an excuse for getting in at 9am. (Still within the clients core hours)
We work on 2 external client databases which one is the end customer and one is my client, last week there were IT issues with both and as such both systems were making it difficult to perform my daily role. This is partially down to said PM breaking one of the systems by removing code.
Now because of these my Integrity and Competence has been questioned and as a contractor that's never a good place to be, but is there anything that should be done.
If contract is terminated because of issues that the client has caused or because of their poor management can anything be done legally?
I definately feel like there's a bit of defamation here against myself and my company and due to the circumstances of the project this could harm future prospects.
