Hello,
My contract (managed by an umbrella company) is due to expire on 31st Jan. I’ve been offered and accepted an extension (start date 1st Feb). I’ve been with this client for nearly 24 months and this will be the fourth time my contract is extended.
I’ve been offered another role at a different company that I want to accept, but the start date is 5th Feb.
The notice period in my contract is four weeks.
Does this notice period apply to my current contract only (which ends on 31st Jan) or also the new/extended contract that starts on 1st Feb, given that I’ve accepted it (verbally only, the umbrella sign the extension with the client presumably on my behalf as I am technically ‘Personnel’, I only have a physical contract with the umbrella)?
There’s nothing in the contract that covers this specific situation so not sure where I stand. Any advice would be appreciated.
