I doubt you would have a claim for breach of contract as (you will need to confirm it) the MOO clause in your contract means they don't have to offer you any work.
you'd have to have pretty deep pockets to fight it I guess also.
you stood on a principal and it cost you the gig.Comment

Company A is the client
Company B is the agent
Company C is a service provider for handling timesheets and billing
Company D is a software/cloud service provider handling the platform that C uses to provide its services.
The client decided to set things up like this. You had a choice to accept or reject. You rejected and so were given notice. Your only valid complaint is if you've not been paid for work done.Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!Comment

Happened to all the contractors where I work. The choice was simple - adopt the new system, or quit.
What specific private information that the software provider has are you concerned about? For mine, it's my email address at the client, the client reference numbers for me, projects and wbs elements, and my company name, and company email address.
I can't see a problem.Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!Comment

Originally posted by v33net View PostHi thanks - it's not that I am not needed as they are advertising my old role funnily through a different agency this time. If we don't stand up to this though are we just supposed to roll over because we need the money. Fortunately I don't.
You don't wait until you are binned to talk to people you talk to them immediately the problem occurs.
So if you get a contract and don't like it, speak up before you sign it. If you can't get the contract amended you don't accept it and be prepared to walk. You also make sure any verbal communications are backed up in writing e.g email. If you do use email ensure that a copy is retained in your business email account.
Oh and regarding data I once had a contract which said they wanted to send my data to India unless I opted-out. So I opted-out while the contract was being negotiated. However I know some of my personal data is in India thanks to the likes of BT and certain banks."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment
