Reason to turn down an extension
I wouldn't worry about it. Just say "thanks for the offer but I need to take some time off (or whatever)".

No notice period stated
Hi Where do I with giving notice on a short term contract where no notice period is stated on the contract? It only states that the agency will "endeavor to give me 4 weeks notice of termination" which doesnt even sound like they have to. Thanks- walterboy

do you work for the agency or for yourself?
Does the client really think you work for the agency? Surely the words "employment agency" means that you dont! Did the agency provide a phone too? Otherwise, you would have to give them your own number, unless the client gave you one, or you really dont need to talk to anyone! By the way, I'm... -

Hi New here and live in Swindon! Not sure why we are getting such a bad press. There are far far worse places in the country.
