In answer to the OP they could just revoke the contract. It's then down to the client whether they honour 4 weeks. I've seen it happen both ways.
If it does happen, stay cool, professional and just assert that you had committed to the period and turned away other work and would be grateful if they could honour the (verbal) agreement.

Originally posted by Gregoa3 View PostI am currently in contract until 17th April, and have been offered a two-month extension which I have verbally accepted, but just waiting for the contract to come through to sign.
My contract stipulates a 4-week notice period on both sides.
My concern is that we have just been told the project is going to have to be moth-balled due to commercial constraints (company are in airport/airline business).
Could they just tell me over the next week that my extension is revoked and make me leave on 17th, or assuming I get the extended contract through and sign it, am I still entitled to get 4-weeks notice?
Don’t want to ask the agent at this point, and give them an excuse to not send the extension through!

Originally posted by Gregoa3 View PostThanks. As I suspected. Seems like for a lot of contractors, 2020 might be the year we look to going back to Permie!
Don't be fooled in to thinking your notice means anything.

Bad news is that a notice period is only valid if there is a signed contract in place.
If they have moth-balled the work, then I suspect you won't get offered a written contract extension.
Even if they did send it through, most clients pay based on signed timesheets, so IF they offered you a contract and IF you signed it, they could serve you notice, and then tell you there's no work to be done.
