I like the OP's RANDOM capitalisation of certain words. Reminds me of news ARTICLES from the Sun or Daily Mail. Well PLAYED.

Notice period in contracts.

"Ahem....cough"Originally posted by jimbo45 View PostHi there
I know this is only my first post - but I do have some experience in LEGAL matters. The Notice period must be EQUAL on BOTH sides otherwise it's not an enforceable contract.
You should really have discussed this before actually signing the deal but the LAW still takes precedence over "Dodgy deals".
I've been a contractor for over 45 years now (coming up to retirement) and I still see examples of "Dodgy" contracts -- and I have yet to meet a SINGLE contractor who has been terminated early for anything other than discipline / gross incompetence who has EVER received a single penny in "Compensation" payments or been paid to the original end of their contract.
Seems rule 1 for the agencies / clients while another one for the contractors --however the NOTICE PERIOD must be EQUAL for BOTH sides of the deal.
Cheers
jimbo
