I know many on here will berate me for considering a very unethical, non business approach to terminating a contract. However, I have anxiety issues, which recently resurfaced again a week and a half into a new, very stressful contract and which is making concentrating and my ability to do my...
Hi,
I have a signed contract with my client using the Direct with end client contract template. 2 days prior to commencement of that contract they have told me that they no longer want me to start with them. The contract states a 4 week notice period both ways. Can I enforce this even though I...
Had my contract extended then terminated while I was on holiday, for no apparent reason. ( my job title was being changed and my manager was a little insecure, simply because over time I became the go to guy "without the job appropriate title" )
I worked for a very large betting company and...
Hello.
I am a developer. I have DIRECT rolling (no end date) contract with a client. On my contract it is said that after receiving signed timesheet and invoice my payment is due in 15 days. My client told me not to bother with timesheets. I sent an invoice and in one week I received HALF of...
Hi, Long time lurker here.
I need some advice on a situation.
I am a Ltd Co consultant/contractor and have been working at a client site for the past 12 months. My contract is/was extended, but I have refused to extend through the current agency.

I began to work at the company from Aug this year under a condition that they would hire me as a full time from next year Jan. (Verbally made, not stated in the contract) My current part time contract states that it will be terminated in Jan 2013, working 3 days a week. But I worked full time...
Hi,
I have given my notice to terminate a contract early.
I've been rolling for 15 months, and the employer and myself are both happy with my desire to move on to something different. We have reached a natural break in the project too.
Between us we are happy to bring forward the end date so...
I've got an issue that I'm sure can be answered here. I've had a contract with a client for over 4 years and it was recently cancelled with 3 months notice. This, the client said, was to give them more time to enable them to "improving their future service needs", which a new boss has decreed. I...
