Bad contract news

[oracleslave]

Resign and take them to the cleaners for constructive dismissal.

Wilmslow, get this muppet to represent you and you'll be proper boomed innit!

[NotAllThere]

Notice period now going to be 12 weeks, making it very difficult to head back to contracting when the time comes.

Notice periods beyond the payment cycle are almost unenforceable. Notice periods at all are extremely weak on the employer side. Mostly they protect the employee.

Also, changing the contract from 40 hours a week to professional working day...

Given how incredibly hard it is to sack a permie, that's like the Holy Grail of permiedom.

If you can get all your work done within 40 hours, go home. The slightest hint that you're being discriminated against for not working "enough hours", threaten to resign and saddle 'em with a constructive dismissal suit.

If you can't get all your work done within 40 hours, go home. The slightest hint that you're being discriminated against for not getting your work done, threaten to resign and saddle 'em with a constructive dismissal suit.

All that's required is you keep notes of the work you've actually done.

Oh FFS,

I left my permie job to go contracting on 12 weeks notice period.

There is no 'point of no return'.

You're either a contractor, or you aren't...

Me too, 3 months notice followed by 3 month bench.

Join a trade union and pay a years fees up front.

They have the best lawyers on retainer. So you can tell them the constructive dismissal suit, will not cost you anything. I would accept an offer of 6 months pay.
