    Doing a Bosman

    What's the situation here exactly?

    Contract finishes today.
    Client in principle has offered a further extension verbally.
    Client wants a 3 month contract
    I'm happy to come in and work on existing project/complete handover but not keen on agreeing a 3 monther. I suggested rolling monthly as a maximum but would prefer to be on a Bosman as I have a perm role I'm trying to secure. But that could start anytime in the next 3 months.
    We cannot agree periods / terms but both expect me in next week.
    There is no paperwork or contract from agency & they are not aware.
    I'm retaining all client equipment & plan to be back in on site on Thursday.
    The client is a little slow to react to things.

    I'm thinking along the lines of just coming in Thursday and carrying on as.is, then invoicing at the end of the week. This will cause a little 'bump' with the agency.

    Apart from the 'risk' element in possibly losing a few days payment due from the agent to there being no formal contract I want to know if I am agreeing to any terms???

      Politics. Project was 'heldup/cancelled'. IT Director was fired. Interim IT Director terminated all contractors instantly on cancelled projects. I managed to whether the storm and made them give me my notice period. Notice period up today. Storm weathered. Offer of new contract on different project, same client, signed off by Interim IT Director. Go figure.

        What's the worst that can happen? You go in, do nothing except post on CUK all day, then invoice. At least you have a chance of getting paid.

        If you stay at home, no chance of getting paid, and even worse, someone will likely find some work for you to do around the house.

        When you go perm you can put it all behind you.

        Forever.
        Keeping calm. Keeping invoicing.

            Yes but permiedom sure feels like it from what I remember.

              yes but redundancy/cuts are always around the corner, hence the choice we make as contractors to keep this within our control
