I negotiated a hike with my agency for the contract extension but they have shot back with a longer notice period- removing it entirely which means I can't leave till the end of the contract. Is it legal? Can a fixed term contract have no notice period?

Of course it's legal. One could argue that a fixed term contract has to have no notice period. -
Short answer yes, long answer is definitely yes.Originally posted by Sid View Post
The client is buying a piece of work/paying for a set amount of effort, in a business relationship being able to give notice is an anachronism. If you contracted a building firm to build and fit out an extension on your house you wouldn't expect them to be able to give notice and abandon it half done.Comment

hmmm....Could that be true for a fixed-price contract?.... I am not signed with the client to produce a fixed set of deliverables, I am a T&M resource being supplied to them by my agency.Originally posted by TykeMerc View PostComment

It's true for both, if you would prefer it to be otherwise of course that's your prerogative, but then you're effectively a temp or a disguised employee so IR35 comes into play.Originally posted by Sid View Post
In real terms you're one or the other, if you want employment type terms then you're not in a business to business relationship.Comment
