I always love the "I could get 25% more somewhere else" argument, if it was that easy why you hanging around where you are

Of course, as I said in post 2, you can always get out using the MOO clause without needing to give notice, but most agencies and clients don't understand that.

Originally posted by yamamma View PostI work for a financial organisation. Been there for over 12 months, however with the latest renewal they have put in 2 week notice period in case they want to get rid of me but no mention of a notice period if I want to quit. Previous contracts were always mutual ie 2 weeks for both parties. I am looking around at the moment and might be in a position where I might want to leave mid contract? However since the current contract doesn't state a notice period, does this mean I can only leave at the end of the contract? Can they stop me from leaving mid contract if I give sufficient time for a handover etc? If they prevent me from leaving, what if I just say I'm too stressed to work - I quit?

If you want to get really desperate, then use the line
The people that I get to review my contracts have advised that not having a reciprocal notice period in the contract would be an IR35 pointer, and I wouldn't want to open the client to any unnecessary risk that they might be part of an investigation

Obviously depending on your exact situation financially this is what I would do -
It seems like your assuming they won't budge on notice period as someone esle did not get it but have you actually asked.
I would use the negotiation/notice period as the decider.
Say you will take the contract based on a notice period going in the same as the company notice period, if they say no then say I'm off then if that can't be done.
If thats it then decision made for me, if not and they agree then I have notice and can still look elsewhere and in either case this may drag it out a few more days also.

What do you think?

Depending on when the current contract runs out, don't be pushed into making a decision one way or the other. Get them to give you the paperwork for review, but don't make any committal noises about it until you really have to.

I hear both sides of the argument - It's a tough one, i'm under pressure to renew by the end of this week so I think I will. Job interview lined up next week so i'll still go to that and if i get the role will see if I can get away with giving a months notice. Problem is i've been de-skilling for a whole year, forgotten to do everything other than tie my shoelaces......

I'm in agreement with Wanderer. Times are hard old son, so take the money, put it in the bank and start looking around Feb.

Originally posted by TheFaQQer View PostOne other thought - have you tried negotiation in these circumstances to get the contract that you want?
1. 15% pay rise
2. Include clause in contract for 4 weeks notice if he wanted to quit
They came back with we'll give you 12% rise if you drop demand number 2, so looks like its not up for debate.
