If they don't pay, SUE THE flipERS!
I've been in a termination situation with 2 clients in the past - 1 a large bank via a large HP consultant whose excuse was that I wasn't sticking to the party line & telling truth a meetings......well, tough tulip! Took those feckers for a months money.
I now have a more B2B contract when I work, choosing not to stick to agency standard templates - in which I put an early termination clause of 20 days payment for terminations within 1 month of the end date & the entire period remaining thereafter. It makes clients & agents think before p*ssing around.
You have to look at it from the POV of "would <x large outsourcer> accept this & just walk" - they are a company & so are you. If they wouldnt accept it, neither should you.Comment

Early termination
MF,
Just picked this up and I might have some advice of use.
First, the legal situation is that they may have breached your contract by failing to give notice. In which case you have a right to sue in the small claims court for the loss you incurred. But you must have attempted to mitigate the loss bu finding replacement work. So if you were kicked out Friday but had a new contract by the next Tuesday then you have no real case. Otherwise you have little to lose in going to the small claims court, and it might be worthwhile having a decent solicitor check over the contractual terms for termination - they can be very easy for a client to exercise.
Secondly, you have every right to know the reason why you were terminated. Write to both your client and the contract agency to request they release all material referring to yourself under the terms of the Data Protection Act. It may be that they have sullied your reputation without due cause, in which case you would have cause to ask for a correction to be made and possibly a secondary reason to take legal action.
Good luckComment
