Originally posted by chopper View PostContracting isn't (supposed to be) a worker to employer relationship, it is a business to business relationship. As such, the notion of employment rights or regulatory bodies doesn't really apply. It is more akin to a business asking Cap Gemini/IBM/Accenture/ECS/Mitie/Unisys/Dynorod/KPMG to provide people to deliver a one-off objective. The difference is it is you as a freelancer rather than a great big massive corporate ****.
The bit that should have got your attention was the original job spec suggesting an term of 3 months or maybe 6 months. This should have rung alarm bells that job security isn't what contracting is about.

But it looks like it's quiet normal based on the comments here!

The only thing you have is a contract and if you sign it without understanding it - the majority of people posting here use professional reviewers - then you are screwed.

You ALWAYS wait for the redundancy money.

Originally posted by SussexSeagull View PostAny chance you could un-resign from your current job?
Magic up some change in personal circumstances if need be.
I can't as I already left the company. I also had a permanent role offered to me which I declined, maybe I can speak with them and see what happens!

Originally posted by uk contractor View PostReminds me of back in 1997 I was told by an agency to leave my almost 7 years perm role to start contracting for them. So I handed my notice in then the agency went radio silence but I still left the perm role as it was going nowhere & the salary was poor. Within 2 weeks I landed my 1st contract @ £80K PA which was not too bad in those days! But nowadays I would not leave a perm role to contract unless I had ultra niche immune to any downturn IT skills!!!

Originally posted by Zsat01 View PostThanks everyone for replying.
The contract which is 10 pages, says I'll get paid only when I fill the time sheet and it also states that the supplier can cancel the contract, if the client says there is no work.
I need to find another job and I think contracting isn't my kind of thing I should stick to permanent jobs.
Thanks again.
Magic up some change in personal circumstances if need be.
