[northernladuk]

It is very simple indeed. You are a contractor. You don't work, you don't bill. They are not obliged to give you work (which is core to your IR35 statu).The contract carrys on running an ends as normal regardless of whether you are working or not.

You are not ending your assigment, you are still contracted to them until the 02 Dec but are not working.

You are still not understanding the basics of how contracting works.

We assume you are at Barclays as well..

You don't know what the contract says. It might say they will provide work (this alone does not imply IR35 as you well know). It's unlikely, but you never know and should probably not dispense as fact things which you only assume.

Looking at some of the questions you ask on here I am not surprised.

I don't see pointing out to someone that this exact question has already been answered for them is a problem.

If we left people alone we would have a forum full of posts and no responses anyway....

That would be better than a reply from you to every single post most of which you know nothing about. Why not do some work at your clients rather than spending all day on the forum? If you are indeed a contractor, which as I have said before I seriously doubt.

Come on d000hgie you are better than that. Most of the people that post on here give us next to f all information to play with and everyone piles in. If we didn't dispense facts based on assumption this bloody forum would die. On the whole I hold what you say in high regard but this is pap.

If you want a cheap pop at me then feel free to do so but don't do it with something nearly every poster on this forum is guilty of.

Is it through an agent? If so invoice them until the 2nd.

The worst that can happen is they say no.

Most (if not all) agencies will not pay without a signed timesheet - I've never heard of one that would do that.

Getting a timesheet which says that the OP worked when (s)he didn't might be tricky.

Let them know you are claiming notice period. Probably won't work but depends how keen the OP is to maintain a relationship with them.

What are you talking about??? How can he claim notice period when the client told him not to come in. Even if he did claim notice period he can't get paid for it for all the reasons already mentioned.

I know that. You know that. The OP doesn't (or at least didn't)know that. See if the agent knows that.

Having said that I would probably enjoy a December off and give it no more thought.

Of course the agent knows that. The agent doesn't get paid as well you know!

Edit : ok now THAT is an assumption but he will be aware.
