Got to put your health and wellbeing and that of your family at top of your list.
Generally, client/employer comes about 33 (just behind my cat).

I had to quit a gig when I got shingles which left me mostly bedridden for 2 weeks on antiviral tablets and tbh I wouldn't give it too much thought, your health matters and if you have to clock out and get better then do it and pick up the next contract.Originally posted by whirlpool View PostRecently because of ill health i had to leave a 6 week contract a third of the way through. Although i regret my decision i feel that it was in my best interests. I wonder if anyone else had to take this course of action or if they stuck with it.
(I had not worked for some time before this due partly to the recurring ill health).

Depends what you mean by health, and regretting your decision.
Was the contract directly affecting your health? eg stress, depression (I'm not asking what it was!) - I'd bin it quick smart.
