Similar scenario with me in December. They were looking for a scapegoat so I made sure I lined myself up with something in the new year intending to walk when it came through. I was damned if I wasn't going to keep billing the bastards! Anyway, new contract secured on 21st to start 3rd Jan, they walked me on the 22nd but paid me 2 weeks notice in lieu - back of the net!!

Originally posted by TheFaQQer View PostNo - it's the absence of MOO which means this. But in a typical IR35-friendly contract and working relationship, then yes - they can just tell you not to come in and not pay you. Likewise, you can just decide not to turn up and not charge anything.
WHS. I like this.

Originally posted by psychocandy View PostPersonally, if it was me I'd stick around for the notice period if they're going to pay you. Just turn up normal hours, let them crack on giving you grief, then at the end invoice them and count your dosh. All the while, on Jobserve looking for another gig.

I don't want to sound them off, but I get the impression now I have been given notice I am going to be made a scapegoat for the project, no matter how much I earn my pride and integrity is worth more to me than to stick around while they pile more and more tulip on me

Originally posted by TheFaQQer View PostNegotiate with them, and see what you can agree.
If your contract gives you the right to give notice which is a shorter period than they have to give you (which I doubt!), then give notice and walk after that period instead.
