Originally posted by TheFaQQer View PostWhat does the contract say about getting paid for not doing any work? If it does, then invoice for the period and pursue that payment; if it doesn't mention it then find something else to do.
And in the future make sure you understand what you are signing.

You obviously don't understand the contract you have signed.
You haven't been given notice by the client they have just informed you that there is no more work for you to do on the project at the moment.
In theory they could call you in again before the contract expires ( but due to your attitude and capabilities they aren't likely to do so.)
Are you free to get another contract that takes up all your time? Yes because you should have a right of substitution in your contract so if they call on your services again during the contract period you just need to find a substitute for yourself in one of your contracts.
BTW Clients do this to larger consultancies as well who aren't performing.

Clients can get rid of you for any reason or no reason. If your contract has been IR35 'proofed' then you will likely have signed away any payment in lieu of notice conditions. Note by IR35 proofed, I mean the wording of the contract is such to be indicative of not being a disguised employee while the actual working conditions may be different.
If you want payment in lieu of notice, you need to ensure your future contracts have an early termination penalty clause but be aware the client \ agency may want reciprication which could cost you financially.

It's really not that hard. You get paid to work: if there's no work there's no pay. The down side of not being a permie (in fact, the only down side of being a permie...). Also, if you do get paid not to work, there went your IR35 defence since clearly you are not taking any business risks.
On a separate point, they don't want to be told it's not achievable, they want to be told how to achieve it. Unless there's a hard deadline such as a change in legal requirements, they would much rather have a plan for completion that what they have now, which is a pile of wasted investment.
Forget this one and move on.
