Reply to: Hot to hand in notice

Plumbers don't have IR35 looming over them.

Difficult situation.

If you engaged a plumber and then said I ain't got any plumbing for you but mow the lawn they would probably be in their rights to tell you to stick it and if you tried not pay them probably sue you for breach of contract.

However I guess your situation is not that clear cut?

I suppose plumber could attempt to mow the lawn, have endless cups of tea, and do a very bad job of it... in that case I can't complain or take him to court as I knew he wasn't contracted to cut the lawn !!

[original PM]

Its all done, I just told them I'd like to stick to the original date of contract end and not accept the extension...
Now they said, well ok can you do a couple of numpty tasks for us... I said well these tasks are not part of my contractual work I came here to do... they said well its either this or we can end the contract today ... i.e. not get paid for my notice

Don't get me wrong I had numpty tasks many times previously and it really is expected on most contracts, but with all the travel etc its not worth it.

Will go and see the tasks in details, and see how I feel, I may decide that's it am not working my notice

Tell them you are sending in a Substitute.


A week of Suity or MF and the client will can you !

Like your thinking. Or send them in 2 for the price of 1.

To be fair her accountant would have more of a clue.

SandyD is female. She has pointed that out more than once.

[northernladuk]

You were suppose to say -
"Have you asked your accountant?"

To be fair his accountant would have more of a clue.

[BrilloPad]

No. That's how we get recruited.

That explains how MF got in then.

Very nice but that all talks about the individual. You are forgetting your company is in a contract with the agency. The company is terminating the contract. You don't resign a contract. Unless of course the contract is in your name and then you've ****ed up.

[NotAllThere]

OMG... the title should have been How to hand in notice, not Hot to hand in notice

I could fix it. But I'm not going to.

Isn't that how mods resign?

No. That's how we get recruited.

[BlasterBates]

If you're feeling hot when you hand in your notice I would advise cooling down first.

[InsertWittyNameHere555]

Send the client a DonaldTrumpogram.

That program annoys me, purely based on the fact you can't be fired from a job interview, at best they can say is "we are not progressing with your application"

Just go sick </psychocandy>

If you're after a serious answer (which I doubt) you shouldn't be giving notice to clientco anyway, you should be giving notice to your agent....

Oh I did this just now

But I always also inform my client co, out of curtsy ... in fact originally my contract was supposed to be until end of June, then they offered a renewal a couple of months back and I accepted not knowing my role will turn to sh*t ... all I need to say is I'd like to reject the extension previously accepted
