ITCON1 - if your circumstances are genuine I wish you the best of luck and you have my best wishes - may be worth trying a compromise solution like working from home part of the time or reducing the contract weekly hours to accommodate your unforeseen personal circumstances.
The problem is that too many contractors find a contract nearer home or a better rate elsewhere and seek the easy way out, giving us all a bad name. This sort of chavlike behaviour is unforgiveable and will get no sympathy on this forum !!

Guest repliedThe contract was a standard fare one from an umbrella company. It says on their web site that you can view contracts online anytime. I did run through it and everything looked ok but at the time was not considering leaving before the finish, I failed to save a copy assuming I would a)be sent one and b) I could view it anytime and it is my first contract since leaving permie world.

Guest repliedYou've signed a contract you haven't read and don't know what it contains. Better and better... This is not supposed to be a game, strangely enough.
Anyway, I should contact your agent and ask them what the terms are. You should also warn your client that you are about to vanish. Both might have a view on your conduct and I suspect netiher will want you back. If your reasons are good enough, you might just be in luck - but don't count on it!
Good luck, anyway

Guest repliedSo you've signed a legal contract and aren't bound by oits terms? Hmm, interesting...
There is no way not to upset people, unless you can find a suitable substitute. Your personal problems, no matter how serious, are sadly not part of the equation.
I'd talk to the client, first - the rest don't really matter. It's the client who will lose (as well as you, of course!)

Hi,
Has anybody resigned from a contract you had just started and what the implications are thereafter?
I know it will look bad and give a bad rep but I have genuine family reasons and dont wish to pee anybody off in the process. How to deal with the agency, umbrella and company?? Notice period says 4 weeks I could do two more but no more. Should I offer this or go straight away?
Any good advice welcomed.Tags: None
