We are definitely guaranteed 40 hours per week, one of the perks of this contract.
We brought it to their attention before the Christmas period so they could make the relevant arrangements to allow us to work.
They have paid us for bank holidays when not worked in the past.
It is a perk for them to have been able to lay us off over Christmas but they didn't!
They are more than happy to quote the contract back to us when it suits and its starting to annoy us, hence why this issue has been resurfaced.

I was available to work and wanted to work, so surely, as per the contract, I should get paid for the 40 hours?
The company are just refusing point blank to pay. Where do I stand and what action can I take before going down more costly solicitor routes?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Either that or you can force your client to pay you money for not working.. way to go... they will love you, along with all the other contractors on site who get treated like tulip and labelled money grabbers because of the actions of the few.Last edited by northernladuk; 26 January 2011, 13:09.

I would expect that if they do pay, the payment will be accompanied by a notice of termination.

I'd be very surprised if you are 'guaranteed' 40 hours per week over the duration of the contract, unless you are a permie.
One of the perk for companies is that they can kick out contractors over Christmas. I didn't work for 3 weeks over that period.
All you're doing at the moment is peeing ofF your agent and client over a dubious claim.
Unless you're not interested in an extension of course...
