Notice Period on contract

[Sassy]

I have just revceived a new contract for employment that states the employer can give me 2 weeks notice anytime during my contract, however I am unable to give notice and am obliged to work out the full term of my contract.

I am uncomforable with the fact that this doesn't offer equal rights to me as a contractor, can anyone adivse if this can be legally enforced?

[Ardesco]

get used to it you are a contractor not a permie.


My current one is immeadiate notice for client and I have to work the term. Unless you're tulipe you don't need to worry about it

Rights? Are you a permie? If you want to have a legal notice of 2 weeks, say that you want a legal notice of 2 weeks or else raise the rate as this gives your customer a fixed rate which you don't feel is convenient for you at the moment.

worst case ?

You tell them that you need a morning off to attend hospital as the drugs are not controlling your aids problem so well.

Welcome to the proper contractor board, Sassy.



The guys they speak the truth. Contracting is about running a business and delivering to your clients. It isn't about employment rights.
