I left a client earlier this year which I had worked via an agency. Although I had left a couple of months earlier than when my contract actually expired (I ended the contract). I have been contacted by the end client to see if I can help them out during a busy spell (1 month contract) however there could be a possible extension. I wondering if I can work directly with the client and bypass the agency or possibly pay 15% value of the 1 month contract but should there be an extension, I would not be liable to pay the agency this amount?
My contract term states:
During the Contract Term or thereafter for a period equivalent to the period of this agreement (but not being less than 3 months nor more than 12 months) either directly or indirectly (whether under a contract of services or contract for services or through any third party) provide any services to the Client or End User except by a contract through (agency) unless the Supplier shall first have paid to (agency) a fee of 15% of the total remuneration including the value of benefits attributed by the Inland Revenue agreed to be paid or provided by the Client of End User for the relevant period of provision of such services (but not exceeding 12 months) plus VAT;
Any advise would be useful
Cheers,
Jay R.
