If you aren't needed you aren't needed there is no need to go into long explanations.
Start looking for a new contract and if asked explain what happened in brief detail e.g. the company canned the project. No-one is interested in company A, company B etc."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JR -
Might have been worth a bit more detail on the entities. Just calling them Company A - X is no use at all. Client A, Agent A, Agent B or something might have actually helped.'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!!Comment

from reading your post you were binned for being difficult.
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

Get looking for something else while you wait for them to not pay your invoice.First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win. But Gandhi never had to deal with HMRCComment

wow confused or what?? sounds like its to late already but you should have been speaking to whoever your contract is with (the Agency) and got clarification on their payment process the minute you found out about the change, if you follow the process then in theory they would not have a leg to stand on, as it stand though I think you got involved in worrying about the rights and wrongs of the process rather than focusing on getting paid, your choice of course but meaning they binned you from the contract because you didn't\wouldn't follow their process.
I would be interested to know how many of the other contractors got binned or just followed the process and are still onsite, in my experience your best option is chalk it up to experience and move onComment

Originally posted by RonBW View PostThat's the only important bit here. Now have a look in the contract and see if there is anything in there that says that you only get paid for the days that you provide services - if you have that then there is very little you can do. If not then invoice for the two weeks unpaid notice.

Yeah good advice - fortunately I am just going to be taking time off for a while. If we don't stand up though what's the point.Comment
