Originally posted by psychocandy View PostInitial contract came with schedule which indicated rate and notice period. Notice period quoted was one week in first month and then 4 weeks after first month - for both parties.
Agency have just issued me an extension/amendment with no notice period quoted - just a change of dates (new start date following on from end of last one, until end date). 8 weeks duration.
Since no notice period is mentioned I'm guessing I can assume the one week notice ran from the beginning of the entire contract (i.e. is now passed) so now we're into 4 week notice even for extension. i.e. It doesnt start again - 1 week notice for first month etc.
Hmm. 8 weeks duration I normally look at short notice period to be honest.

Although you have opted for option 2 you still have a card you can play.. It's called negotiation.

Originally posted by CheeseSlice View PostThis really does look like a non issue to me. 8 weeks is hardly a life sentence. You've worked for them before so you know what they're like. What's the risk?

Originally posted by GillsMan View PostWhat NLUK said. Come on PC, you've been round the block long enough, you must know about MOO, and how they aren't obligated to offer you work, and you aren't obligated to accept?
But agree to one weeks notice and they might be wassed off if I invoke but it wont be as bad.
