Will speak to agency frankly and see what they have to say.

This is precisely the reason why contracts not permitting the contractor to serve notice are becoming more prevalent.

Terminate before onsite
I am yet to be onsite for my new contract but have found something else better, and want to terminate the first one.
I need to give 1 week's notice, but given that I haven't started, how should I go about 'not turning up' ?

How should I go about negotiating with agency/client?Tags: None
