    You have to apply a bit of common sense sometimes you know. It'd a hardship but has to be done sometimes
    Yes, you are totally right.
    I admit I was extremely naive as it was my first gig and had no clue whatsoever about how things go (not that I know much more now..).

    Anyways the contract I'm talking about started last december, with already 2 extensions (always with the 0.00 working hours thing ) and so far I've always been paid.

    I was just wondering if I can turn my naivety to my favour

      Get your contract checked by QDOS every time (except when it's an extension and it's the same word for word).

      No you can't. You'll just prove your naivety and move on to making yourself look stupid.

        No, it means that you cannot give notice. I suspect that you've got a draft or standard contract where the details haven't been populated - I would not rely on being able to terminate the contract with no notice in this scenario.

          I had a contract like that with e-Resourcing. I'd never walked out of a contract before so thought what the hell. Unfortunately it was the worst contract I've ever had and after a few months I told the client about the situation and asked them to let me go.

            Thanks. I'd better get in touch with the agent to get the amendments i want put in words and stay home until it's all done
