I've encountered this sort before more with the type being a permie rather than contractor. I've had to deal with guys like this both as a contractor and a permie, when I was permie I complained and no-one wanted to hear it or do anything about it so I left for a better job or started contracting. When I was a contractor and experienced this sort of behavior towards me (and witnessed it on others) I decided to look for another contract after the current one was around 2 months due to expire and I left and I didn't say a thing as it's just not worth it.
You could always buy a cheap 2nd hand android device in cash, never use it with personal accounts or your internet at home, setup an email account using the device in an internet cafe and then months later when they've forgotten about you using free WiFi in a shopping center mail all his colleagues with an anonymous e-mail stating why he is an absolute knob end. And turn your mobile phone off for tracking when you are sending the email in the shopping center. Sorted. Don't forget to get the email addresses before you leave the work premises ! Disguise yourself with a hat and sunglasses in the shopping mall for good measure !!! Remember the wise words of this forum that echo in eternity .... "Don't get mad, get even..".Last edited by sbakoola; 11 May 2018, 12:32.

My agency has just said as it was served at 4pm the 28 days should start from the following day it was served. But as you say the clients contract may say differently.

Has the agency (or whoever you have the contract with) provided a notice of termination of the contract in writing? At the moment it's noise by your description.
You should sit down with the client and see what they want. At the end of the day they can serve you 28 days notice but refuse to let you work so you won;t get paid. Most companies are nice enough to pay you for doing nowt so ask 'em. Make sure that the client instructs the agency correctly though and remember that you don't know what their contract says and it is likely different to yours.

Got told the other day the client would like to end my contract early, not a lot of work left, this was about 4pm. As it was the afternoon does my 28 day notice period start from the day after it was served or the same day? Contract just says 28 days, nothing else.
Thanks.

My advice to you would be to sit down with the contracting party and clarify when they expect YourCo.'s contract to end, and whether timesheets will be signed off until such time? The notice should also be served by the contracting party, not the end client (unless YourCo. is direct - no agency involved).

Originally posted by Lucy53 View PostHello everyone, I am new here but was told there is lots of good advice and I am in a right pickle.
I joined a project a few months ago, and quickly became 'best mates' with the head of the project - a contractor himself who had also just joined. I then started to realise he really enjoyed causing trouble, and managed to engineer firing of a couple of contractors, for which he was really proud of himself - openly (to me anyway). It was almost a kind of sport. The more he got his feet under the table, the louder and more obnoxious he became - and always had a battle on the go with someone. To be honest, it didn't phase me until he started turning on me - embarrassing me at meetings, and telling me my views were wrong, talking over me, hijacking meetings I was running etc etc. I jokingly stood my ground as much as i could as I got on ok with everyone else. Then, over time my relationships with the client co staff went weird, i couldnt put my finger on it but they were different. This guy also turned on me big style - it was obvious he was coming for me next. I kept my head down and to be honest worked remote to keep away from him to try not to show any vulnerability.
Then suddenly out the blue I got a glee filled call from him (from a car park) telling me client co are terminating my contract because of something I'd said a month ago (I couldn't ever recall it) They had all got together and decided i do not fit in with the team.
