Reply to: Client won't honour notice period, any advice?

Being forced into not getting the 3 months is then surely an indicator of the opposite?

I'm talking from a contractual level. Yes he has some good evidence by getting canned but he's having to defend a bad position rather than having and strong outside contract. He's been lucky from an IR35 perspective.

3 months is going to be a very strong IR35 indicator. I hope you've got insurance.

Nah he's talking about the matter in hand e.g. the client has NO money.

If a client tells you have NO money you take what they have got and run fast.

Indeed but someone has posted a newbie question so surely there is nothing wrong with pointing out associated issues he might not know about like IR35. That's what I was getting at.

And hope that they have enough to pay the outstanding invoices.

You are kidding right?

For those talking about IR35, what the hell has that got to do with the situation? That's the OP's business and risk appetite not ours and is none of our business.

Wow... I never said I was a perm, not sure why my reply was edited. I never said I wasn't delivering on services. I don't expect to get paid for work I don't do.

I guess I forgot what forums are like when I stupidly asked this community for advice.

I'm out.

If client co runs out of money and tells you such, isn't that a big indicator that future work with them is at risk - even getting paid for what you've worked. Take the four weeks on offer and get yourself on the market.

He was a bit full of himself, wasn't he?

But he's very good at what he does though, top notch even

Your contract is ending due to finance and you are expecting 3 months notice! Are you sure you aren't a Corbynister?

[malvolio]

Then they shouldn't have given me a contract saying as much, it's common practice in my industry. Plus, I'm good at what I do, I get job offers and the client wanted to make sure I stayed.

Maybe, but you are not a permie, you're a supplier of services. If you can't deliver them, you can't get paid for them. Would you pay Morrisons for not delivering your Tesco shopping?

Also go read your contract carefully; somewhere it will say something to the effect of the client being able to terminate without notice and only pay for agreed work delivered.

As others have said, your contract is to the agency. Good luck getting them to pay you when they will themselves be pressing for their losses from the client...
