Notice Period Dispute
Coming to the relation ship between myself and the client, they like me very much that they have given me a 10 month contract as against 3 months that they have initially advertised. The only reason the client is terminating within the first 3 months is due to the fact that they had to cancel...- itcontractor07

Notice Period Dispute
Thanks once again. I have just had a chat with the client but I think the client is trying to shy away from this issue as I have had a message saying I have signed the contract with the agency and not the client so if I have any issues I should be taking it up only with the agency and not with...- itcontractor07

Termination of a 1 year contract in 3rd week
Thanks for all your responses chaps. My understanding till now about 30 days notice was that the client/agency gives a 30 days notice period before he will stop paying you, irrespective of whether he is able to give me any work or not.. But the understanding seems to be different among people...- itcontractor07

Termination of a 1 year contract in 3rd week
Dear All, I was recently called for an interview for a 3 month contract (as advertised) and then because they have liked my skills very much and they have taken up a 24 month project, they voluntarily offered me a year long contract to aid me to move to this place from my existing place.

Hi, I have been contracting for a few years now but never seen a job asking me to work more than 37.5 hours a week. One of the client I was working had a 35 hours week only.

Visa/PR Expenses
Thanks a lot for all your advice. Turion: Try to understand the fact that since we are efficient, we are here in this country today. Not sure if you know, but if every immigrant stops coming to UK to save Visa costs, then the govt would be approx £190 million out of pocket. Data from the UKBA...- itcontractor07
