    Uneven notice periods

    Already signed and working here for 18 months so a bit late for that!

    Uneven notice periods

    On my current contract the required notice period is stated as 4 week's notice by me, and 1 week by the client. If I wish to end the contract and provide the 4 week's notice, does anyone know whether the client can then turn around and give me 1 week's notice period? I would rather have 4...

    Answer to the question "what have you been doing since your last contract"

    I've been on the bench for five months having contracted for 12 years with only one other (3 week) bench time. A part of these 5 months was intentional holiday, and the rest has been looking for a new contract in what has turned out to be a very dire market. Now I'm being asked what I have...

    Are you really defined by your last contract?

    Thanks for all the advice - very useful, although I'm starting to feel like an idiot having turned down all those calls! To be honest though, I want to get into higher management or strategic type roles and am worried having some TA contracts on my CV will harm my chances. But I hear what...

    Are you really defined by your last contract?

    I need some advice please. I’ve been on the bench for four months – a very slow market it seems for Test Managers. I’ve had a few calls from agents regarding more junior Test Analyst positions, some paying very high rates but I feel this would be going backwards and would negatively affect my...

    Changing agents for a role

    Thanks for the replies - all useful. I decided to go down the honest route when Agent B called me about the role and told them I had already submitted my CV through Agent A at which point he replied "Good luck". Next time I'll ask about the PSL - although do we really expect them to reply...

    Changing agents for a role

    Is there anything you can do (devious or otherwise) when you've told an agent they can represent you for a role, then the role is advertised (10 minutes later!) by another more well-known (and probably higher up the supplier list) agency?

    Client enforcing time away without notice period

    Thank you northernladuk for pointing out that I asked this question before – yes I had forgotten my post in the hectic, ensuing 11 months but you seem to have a lot of time on your hands (and obviously felt you needed to search for my previous posts), so it was good of you to remind me My...

    Client enforcing time away without notice period

    So does that mean an IR35 contract does not need to have a notice period included?

    Client enforcing time away without notice period

    Am I within my rights to WORK until 02 Dec?

    Client enforcing time away without notice period

    My contract ends on the 02 December however I was informed by the client yesterday (14/11) that they are enforcing a Mandatory Time Away period for the project from the 25th November. I have a 30-day notice period on my contract. Therefore, if I am expected to end the assignment on the 25th of...

    Contract Term - Client or Agency obligations

    Good thing as far as IR35 but bad thing for me. It means I'm obligated during the Term to remain available for the Client, but does not mean the Client is obligated to provide me with work. I "assumed" that the Term was when I would be working From and To but obviously not. Something I'll be...

    Contract Term - Client or Agency obligations

    My limited company has secured (and signed) a contract through a consulting company into an end client. The schedule in the contract outlines a Term with a start date of 01 December, however I have yet to start at the end client (and have not received a confirmed start date) and my limited...
