+1 for the advice others have given. Keep cordial at all times even while telling the agency to do one. That they let their contract and your contract have opposing terms is their look out, not yours. Be prepared for them to play silly buggers with your final invoice. Don't let them not pay you in full for your final timesheet-approved invoice. You've given notice as per your contractual terms. End of story.

Get your side of the story in first, and try to leave on the best possible terms.

And you can use this thread as a placeholder for the inevitable "Agency refused to pay my last invoice" thread.
As others have said, your notice period is in your contract. It is 15 days. Give them 15 days notice.

I wouldn't be surprised if it's just a story to squeeze out the last drop of commission and/or give the agent an extra couple of weeks to find someone else.
Make sure the client knows your contract is 15 days and the problem (if indeed it is a problem) is not of your making.

If your agency has screwed up it ain't your problem.
Your contract is with the agent.
So if you need to go give the notice in the contract and walk.
If you don't need to run then work with the agent to have a longer notice period i.e. you can agree to do 7 days more than the agent can pretend you are sick.

Originally posted by simplicity View PostSo my contract states 15 days motive but my agency are saying that the contract they have with the client has changed and it's now one month notice. I was never given an updated contract with this information. Surely I go by what I've signed for in my contract?
