No but considering it a possibility to lie on your CV and turning up to gigs without having reviewed the contract tell me enough.

[QUOTE=northernladuk;1620383]Would be pure karma if you got this gig by lying on your CV as you suggested in the thread you started on the 5th.

And just to give jmo21 something to post on today....
I complained hard about them misrepresenting the contract and they sacked me.

Whats to stop them putting your rate down to £1 a day? Really dull thing to do.
Be vigilant I agree, but dotting every i and crossing every t will mean more often than not u will lose the gig or get a rep for being a knob...

Similar to what happened to me
I made a post here a couple of months ago about something similar (http://forums.contractoruk.com/busin...you-stick.html), though in my case I had the contract signed ok before I started. I was stupid enough to miss something in the notice period section of the T&Cs about explicit permission to serve notice needing to be given on the notes page, so just assumed that the fact there was a notice period on the notes meant that I could give notice. Anyway, long story short I complained hard about them misrepresenting the contract and they sacked me. I'm happy enough with that as I'd rather be out than in, even if I'm developing my own stuff, however I started looking at contractual misrepresentation: Misrepresentation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia and I figured, if they sent me a job description that caused me to sign the contract then I still have grounds to sue for misrepresentation if they refuse to pay. You could probably dissolve the contract hassle free if you have an e-mail with a job description that doesn't match your job, though you will definitely want to check that with a lawyer first.

Originally posted by acontractor View PostThey only forwarded the contract last night. Didnt gave me any chance to read . (They prob. didnt want me to!)
Too late now. Way too late. Should have looked at contract and got it reviewed before even thinking about starting work.
Agency trick mind. They know once you've started its too late. Next contract:-
1. Once you get offered, tell agent you're accepting subject to contract.
2. Get him to send now!
3. Get it reviewed for IR35 and get it changed if need be.
4. No matter how much agent squeals (and they will) do not start until contract is sorted. Remember, agent doesnt care he just wants you in there and earning a cut for him.
5. Read the basics about contracting or quit and go back to permie.

Originally posted by Willapp View PostI'm not sure about this. If he had the contract before he started and just didn't sign it, fair enough, but if he started work before seeing the contract (foolish as this may be), then gets the contract and decides there are undesirable terms in it, I don't see that his starting work has by default made him accept all the terms in it - what if the contract said he had to give them his house and his wife? (ok silly example but you get the point).
I think providing you don't leave it too long now you've got the contract, you can still bail out and say you never knew about the 4 weeks notice until the contract was received and you don't accept that notice period therefore you are leaving immediately. I just don't see how they can hold you to a notice period you knew nothing about until the contract turned up.
Obviously you shouldn't have started work until the contract was received and signed, but I don't see how they can hold this against you if they asked you to start straight away and didn't send the contract until afterwards.
Even as an employee depending on what part of the contract is you find disagreeable you can still be shafted so the rule is always - You negotiate contracts before you start otherwise expect to get shafted.

Originally posted by northernladuk View PostNope. By turning up you have accepted the terms so you now have an implied contract...
What is implied contract? definition and meaning
