    No notice period stated

    Hi

    Where do I with giving notice on a short term contract where no notice period is stated on the contract?

    It only states that the agency will "endeavor to give me 4 weeks notice of termination" which doesnt even sound like they have to.

    Thanks

    There is an implied clause that you should also endeavor to provide 4 weeks notice should you wish to terminate.

          Is there any obligation to provide you with work?

            How 'short' is the term?
            "take me to your leader"

              Zero notice period is good, IMO, versus IR35.

                    If you agreed to a clause that only allows the agency to terminate, then that is something you were happy with when you signed the contract. You can ask the agency to terminate the contract with you, but you cannot, by the sounds of things, terminate the contract with the agency.

                    Also, is there a clause that says that the client has to pay you if there is no work?
