I just started a 1 year contrct

** Plumber Analogy Alert **


If you booked a plumber to fit you a new bathroom, then on the day he started changed your mind, would you pay him the full amount?

hmmm....what happens if you pay half up front, then the day he starts you tell him you want your money back?

Should this not be in Accounting/Legal?

A while back I heard of someone in a similiar situation and he had to take the client company to court (he didn't go through an agency). I haven't heard the outcome but I know it was a long drawn out process.

I think it all comes down to what's in your contract. Some work on a percentage owed if, for no fault of the contractor, the post finishes early. Have a read though and see but unless something is written down I don't think you can enforce or expect anything.

and now I have been given notice. I can't believe that this has happened.

I mst be entitled to a full year money - but my employer says no. How do I talk sense it him?

A number of us have told you that the contract you were offered was too good to be true. As far as I am concerned, you only have yourself to blame for this. You were probably entitled to redundancy pay whilst you were a permie.... You think that your boss is thick because he cannot use Facebook? Well, I guess he had the last laugh then! Greed breeds stoopidity.

If I were you, I would use my extensive contacts on facebook to find another contract.

Its lucky that you are you and not me. If you were me, you would be older and not even know how to operate facebook.

I'm so glad for your sake that you are younger and cleverer(youth-speak) than I am.

If you have signed a contract for a year then the agency is obliged to pay you for that amount - unless of course there is a provision for a Sanity Clause in the contract.

Somehow I don't think this was done through an agency.

Invoice him for a years work, tell him you are smart and he isn't, start a petition on the 10 Downing St website, setup a group on Facebook, then charge interest when he doesn't pay up.

If that doesn't work, I don't know what will

[NotAllThere]

OK, I'll bite.

Oh come on. Everyone knows there's no Sanity Clause.

Ahahahahahahahahaha

I was all depressed after reading Mich's thread, but this has really cheered me up.

Come on, who's sock puppet is this?

[TheFaQQer]

Oh come on. Everyone knows there's no Sanity Clause.

Now pay particular attention to this first clause because it’s most important. It says the, uh, “The party of the first part shall be known in this contract as the party of the first part.” How do you like that? That’s pretty neat, eh?
