I am really surprised that you're actually worrying about what it says in your contract. I have always worked on the basis that there is 24 hours notice either way on any contract. The agencies try put in a whole lot of gumpf in the contracts that has no resemblance to the actual agreements with their clients. I get all my contracts reviewed for IR35 purposes, and generally the company I use will always question the Notice period, and argue the toss. I have terminated contracts in the past, basically because better offers have come along. In some cases I have discussed with the clients and made arrangements to either finish outstanding work and go.
I have seen clients terminate contractors on the spot before too, Basically just called security to frog march him off site.
So in conclusion I never worry about the notice clause, I just keep in mind that everyday once you pass midday, is the ideal time to get sacked as they have to pay the full day rate. :-)
