A few months ago I took a 6 month contract through an agency I have worked through before.
The contract had a built in break for Christmas and a notice period which extended as the contract progressed.
The break came 13th December, for various reasons I have picked up another contract and started on 16th. I phoned the agency to try to arrange a face to face but they were WFT. I gave verbal notice and got serious earache, they tried to talk me into leaving new contract and going back. I also put it in writing later the same day (email).
I got an email yesterday to say that they had only just received it (as they were off) and therefore my last day onsite would be 17th jan. I have no intention of going back, but where do I stand legally? Do I just phone in sick? or just ignore them.
All my time sheets have been signed and invoices issued. And I have been paid twice since I have left.
