If they let you continue then it's an implied extension to a contract so turn up, do the work and bill them for it.

I'm opted in and the agency knows that I am. I wouldn't be here if I was opted out.

I'm allowed into the building so nothing to worry about and current rumour is end date 31st Jan but some paperwork would be nice...

I got my paper work through 10 days after my renewal, so you got plenty of time left

Ah that old chestnut. Takes me painfully back to Summer 2002 when I was told the exact same thing.

They still owe me money

Rookie mistake.
