Have you used the calculators to see how much you have lost over that period?
How long was this contract that you have just finished?Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI hadn't really understood this 'pwned' expression until I read DirtyDog's post.Comment

Originally posted by GazCol View PostIt's a significant amount, if outside IR35 per year, at a rough approximation (lets say a 10% net pay difference for Ltd vs Umbrella, including expenses and accountancy fees, which is being extremely generous) based on 40 hours a week that's £4k a year. Over 12 years... yeah, that's a lot of money for anybody.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI hadn't really understood this 'pwned' expression until I read DirtyDog's post.Comment

Originally posted by DirtyDog View PostReading the original post, I don't think this is an outside IR35 contract.
If anything, being asked to leave the contract early because there was no work available would be a good IR35 defence.Comment

Originally posted by DirtyDog View PostAh, OK. You're fine to assume that he's outside IR35 based on the original post, and therefore it's a lot of money to lose, whereas one doesn't have enough information to assume that the OP is inside IR35 and therefore the difference isn't going to be that great.

So while the client may be well within their rights to terminate immediately with no reason given if the agency was stupid enough not to put this in as a termination clause, then the contractor needs to go after the agency. It doesn't matter whether or not there is timesheet as the client doesn't have to sign this for a valid notice period. Kittycat or whatever her new name is did this, and eventually the agency settled out of court to avoid having a ruling against them.
Some of my contracts have clearly stated that the contract can be terminated if there is no work in the termination clause and others do not. This means that I have managed to get a client to pay a notice period due to them not mentioning this there as on other contracts I have agreed to finish a couple of days earlier."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

Originally posted by SueEllen View PostIt more likely that the agency didn't amend their contract to suit what the client asked for. Remember agents are salespeople with less understanding of contract law than the average contractor.
