Well, I will continue to bill till the contract runs out

That's the way to do it

At ClientCorp, they refer to the permies as "Associates". As a contractor, I glory in the title "Non-Associate Not Directly Managed By ClientCorp"

Just had some wonderful news.

Mr N's boss just called to say he needn't bother coming back to work as they won't be renewing him as he's been off sick too long.

So no pressure on me to find a new gig then

Not sure if it means he is a Permie or a contractor?!

In cloggers permies only start off on either 6 months or year long contracts.

You get renewed on an annual basis (if you're lucky) and then after the third renewal the company has to make you perm proper.

Its not like the UK where you get a job, have a probationary period and then get kept on.

And unlike the UK, they can refuse to renew using an excuse of long term illness.

I know you were expecting it but even so the actual news hurts...

Once he is back on his feet, he could become a contractor too !!!

That would be great as he's got more 20 odd years of experience so is suited to contracting rather than perm stuff.

Will just have to see what turns up, but he can't really look for stuff till he's more mobile.
