Careful no one thinks you're being held hostage and tries to count remaining fingers in the photo...

And no, I have never had to test that thinking, much less state that it would work.

Originally posted by LetterBox View PostIf they have terminated the contract then someone on the client side will have to have noted the termination date, your agency should have this comms from the client and the 'effective date'. It should say Thursday I guess if you've done the start of the week. Even with an unsigned timesheet, if you were there on those 3 days then you will have a claim. This logic should work with the agency who also know the rules of the game.

In the same way that if one does not sign a renewal, being on site after the end date of the previous contract will deem signing and continuance of terms.

First thing to realise: NHS are more important to Venn than any given contractor. NHS have the money that they want, you're simply one means of getting to it.
Second: for not getting the three days signed off - good luck trying to prove that you worked them. Lining up a colleague to vouch for you is probably your only hope.
Finally, this can happen as easily on outside as inside gigs; being binned off at a whim is one of the risks for us/perks for them.

Where do I stand with getting my owed money and getting the notice period paid?

Regards notice period, legally, there is none, never has been, for reasons as has been previously stated. A very high percentage of clients will give you notice and keep you busy through this notice period, but a few wont, and do not have to.
In terms of Inside IR35, you in effect have all the risks of contracting life but likely a not dissimilar pay to a permanent employee with benefits, hence the current gloom.
