Being fired as a IT contractor

[northernladuk]

Are you employed by your agency or are you contracted to deliver work to a client via an agency? The distinction is incredibly important and I've a feeling you don't understand.

I assume you don't know what IR35 is from all this as well?

i dont see anything in my contract about there being no work etc either - it just says my working hours 9-5 everyday and invoicing.

I guess its because im actually employed by my agency - and my agency has the relationship with the client - maybe that is the difference that im not employed directly

either way - this is only worst case senario - im sure I will be able to get the time off working my charm

JFC. As indicated above, I hope you've been paying tax appropriately because you sound an awful lot like a permie. You might want to learn a little more about the contractual side of contracting Anyway, even though you're not currently able to understand your contract, there's almost certainly one or more clauses about payment for work done (e.g. a signed time card).

theyl probably want me to work a few days notice anyway as I know some stuff that nobody else does

Im not too bothered either way to be honest but it would be nice to get 4 weeks money of it

anyway I'll let you know how it goes!!! im looking forward to my holiday

[dltasty]

yeah i send invoices to my agency on a weekly basis and they pay me

[dltasty]

they pay my limited company not me personally though im not on their payroll

[jamesbrown]

thats all i care about as its a significant amount of money to me

Im not too bothered either way to be honest

Before I left for school I had to post a quick sockie to Instagram.

Try searching sock puppet instead. Sockie is our (and most others actually) slang term..

Being fired as a IT contractor

1. Speak to HR at your employer, they will be able to explain to you what happens when you deliberately take unauthorised leave.

2. If you've been contracting for a long time, you'll have a good war chest built up and so 4 weeks of lost invoicing will not be a problem to suck up.
