Get the client on side and they can sort the agent out. If the client wants you to stay it gets more complicated; remote working may be possible to avoid contractual issues but fingers crossed humanity prevails.
-
As soon as the client is on board, agency's opinion on the matter is largely irrelevant. I assume you have no MMO clauses in the contract, so if the client agrees that they don't need you past a certain date, the agency can't do much.

Do you have any ability to complete your notice via remote working?
Just a thought, if anyone sticks their heels in.

Now go and write that short professional email and do not send it. In fact put another one of your own email addresses in the "To" box until you want to send it.

Get your priorities right family is more important than the ******* agency.

advice on termination before serving entire notice period
I'd like to take stock with this trusted body and communicate to client then to agent. I am a little over 1.5 months into a 6 month contract via an agency. My schedule requires an equal 1 month notice to serve agency or to MyLtdCo.
Unfortunately, my circumstances have changed and I need to move back to the USA for family reasons by no later than 12-APR. To-date I've completed all client deliverables, but could stay-on till 31-MAR or till a replacement found (sooner).
I've never done this, and my statement above is too wholly to say to client, but want to ensure each party finds appropriate ground. I want to set a definitive date in-stone with the client of 25-MAR (who I think will be amenable) and minimise impact of any payment issues or breach of service with agency.
There's a substitute / sub-contract clause, subject to client 'agreement' on an eligible candidate, but everyone I know with my skill set is in-contract or about to-be.
What's the best way in handling this with client and subsequently the agency (does client need to communicate agreement to agency or I do that on their behalf)?
Apologies, if I sound a bit loose here, but as you might imagine other scenarios are playing on my mind.
Thanks,
HPSauce
