Hi,
Newbie to contracting and on my first contract and having extended already.
Recently I was informed by the agency the client wished to go to a no notice contract with a one week notice period for themselves. This is a bit of a change from the current 30 days each in my current contract. As such, the agency is posting out a new contract for me to sign, so my questions are:
If I refuse to sign, am I still bound be the 30 day notice period in my existing contract?
If I refuse to sign, is the agency still bound by the 30 day notice period in my existing contract?
Or is this enforced change a get out for an earlier exit? Or more likely, its a case of suck it and see - i.e the client maybe happy for me to leave or insist I serve out the full 30 days depending upon their needs?
Lastly - with Christmas coming up, if I were to be forced to work 30 days, could I be forced to cancel any or all of my current leave? And if not, what's to stop someone just taking all of their remaining notice period as holiday?
Lots of questions, I did a search but I bet most, if not all have been answered before.
Thanks
