Sounds like the end client were umming and Arrington and the agent wanted to get you started. You will probably end up getting extended anyway.

As other have said, part of 'the deal' as a contractor is that you can be told to leave tomorrow if it suits the client, so I wouldn't get too worked up about this.

What did you originally agree?
If you agreed verbally to May, then they gave you a contract for May then it's not a typo. As others have said it isn't worth disputing unless you already planned a follow on contract starting in May.in which case you could expect some compensation for the "typo".
If you had originally agreed April but then the written contract states May and they correct it back again, then it's a typo; as the agreement was April.
The contract is what is intended by both sides, if there's a typo such as the wrong rate or date or whatever it should just be corrected.

Originally posted by doubleplus View PostI signed a contract with a recruitment agency to provide consultancy to another company with an end date of 1st May 2015. I recently received an email from the recruitment company with a contract amendment. Apparently they had put in a typo and the end date should be 1st April 2015.
I'm not sure what to do with this and what repercussions arise from this should I sign or not sign the amendment. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks

Personally I wouldn't trust an agency with dates in the contract as far as I could throw them. Most sensible companies delivery separate contracts and schedules so things can be changed without requiring a full contract review...

Thanks for your comments. It makes sense to sign it to keep client/agency happy.

Sign the contract without a fuss (or expect termination). You aren't in a position of leverage, and the agency may remember your not making a fuss (for what that's worth ). Of course, you could take a principled position, but it won't help you in practice, as there will be clauses to the effect of no work, no pay.

You either sign the corrected version or you don't.
You have the right not to sign the new contract, but don't be surprised if either (a) they terminate you now; or (b) when it gets to April 1st they say they have no more work for you and tell you to leave.
You're not going to get paid for that extra month, so you may as well sign the correction and hope for a further extension nearer the time.

Well they could just serve you notice so you end on that day anyway so not really going to make a difference if you accept it or fight it. I can't see you getting the extra month whatever you do tbh.
You could ask them for evidence it's a typo, something from the client stating it was actually April etc if you are hell bent on getting to the bottom of it but I would refer back to my previous comments in the end.Last edited by northernladuk; 11 February 2015, 16:42.
