tricky one

Are you in or outside IR35?

If in, then chase it.

If out, then take the money on offer, and go and get another job. Use it as an indicator of the risk that you face in your business, should there ever be an IR35 investigation.

Take the advice from the forum - you'll never win an argument with a permie.

I had exactly the same thing happen to me earlier this year - Monday I offered to leave the project and was told that they wanted me to stay; Friday morning (8.15) contract was terminated with no notice and no pay-off. Monday, started new contract on improved rate.

within ir35 mate,

my problem is I have tendered for another contract through a friend of mine and I don't find out till march 12th. there were several other contracts I could have taken but it would have meant working away so this is the one I'm holding out for.

its not so much the money but the principle of being shafted like this. hopefully I get a resolution and gain some knowledge from the whole thing.

my next contract will put me outside ir35 so then I can dump the brolly as well

Since you're in, then it's worth chasing it - see what the lawyers say. I only didn't chase it since although there was a principle at stake, I was better off out (and might be able to use the risk factor if ever investigated for IR35).

Invoice now for the notice period - then you can start adding interest on for not paying on time...
