My current big client has no idea of my other customers and thinks that i just take a higher than average number of days off. I'd rather keep it that way too, my other clients are none of their businessCoffee's for closersComment

My contracts tend to have. Me no notice can be served, client has no notice period (can terminate immeadiately for any reason).
In the case under discussion though, a bald four week unconditional notice was not likely to pass the above test and so was seen as a pointer towards there being a degree of MutualityBlog? What blog...?Comment

Having had one of these already, I still say keep your paperwork in pristine order, tell Hector nothing and stick with Yes Sir, No Sir, Three bags full Sir, then he goes away with all your paperwork and sends it back in a big box which the postman leaves on the doorstep (ffs).Comment

Originally posted by malvolio View PostActually there's been a bit of a debate about that lately. If I understand things properly (not a given, of course!) any notice period implies a degree of MOO, since there is a situation where you may have to work when there is really no more work to be done. So no notice on both sides, as you have in yours, is the ideal. In reality, of course, there are commercial reaons for wanting to keep your supplier tied down, hence the growing use of assymetric notice periods. It's a bit of a fine balance, but as long as you have something in the contract about neither side having to either offer or accept work, some notice can be squared away.

So there is no MOO as far as I'm converned. THey could say "you have 4 weeks notice. But we don't want you to do any more work so leave now". And I don't get paid.Comment
