Hi
Not sure if this is the correct forum to be in but to cut a long story as short as possible...
I left my permanent job of 4 years to take on my first ever contract job to gain new experience and new skills, this was very hard to do as I am a person who likes their security but I couldnt miss this opportunity to work for a global company to get that experience behind me...the contract was initally 6months to go perm in 2012. After only 3 weeks into the job, I was informed that they no longer need me and informed my agency that it was because I wasnt fitting in well and my work level was not what they expected? Now they didnt train me for 3 weeks and dumped a whole load of work onto me which I just got on with and asked my colleagues questions once I knew how the policies ran in the department.
My contract does have a 1 month clause in it whereby either me or the company can give 1 months noticed ... however I assumed (as hardworking as I am) that never in a millions year they would terminate me so early (and I have complained to my agency that what they claim is not true... i.e coming into work late (never), not being able to work with the processes (never) and my colleagues would be witness that I always asked them questions where possible...however I would assume no one would ever vouch for his as they are all too pally with the managers)
I am posting this to find out as a contractor is there any legal rights to this early termination?
thanks for any advice possible...
