Contracts terminated as policy

How often do you read about someone on here that are in the middle of a contract/just started one but are offered a higher paying role asking whether they should jump ship?

Par for the course really.

Quite often indeed!

But usually, someone (or more than one person) will say that you should be professional and honour the contract.

What people need to understand is that, so long as there is a notice period clause in the contract, the contract is effectively never really longer than that notice period.

Most contracts I've bothered reading properly are also written in a way that if the client has no work to do and tells you they don't want you to come in tomorrow then there is stuff all you could do about it. ie. you won't get paid. I always assume I'm on 24hr notice that way you are never disappointed !

I understood that this was a good clause to have (inasmuch as it is a useful indicator of being outside IR35).
Doesn't this determine whether a MOO exists?
Client is not obliged to offer you work, and you are not obliged to turn up if there is no work to do. Unlike an employment relationship, in which you are paid for being on site at available for whatever may come along, even during slow times. The employer is also obliged to pay their employees regardless of the amount of work there is.
