Hello,
I have two issues.
1.
My signed contract between my company and agency defined the start and end date of assignment. However the client company subsequently delayed the start date twice which lost me two weeks. I was ready to start on the stipulated start date but the end client were still awaiting signoff of contract between themselves and agency. The end client caused the delay.
Q. Can I claim payment or any compensation for these two weeks lost due to no fault of my own?
2. My contract was verbally terminated by phone call from agency due to change of client company plans. My end date was given verbally as a date 24 days hence. I was told the termination letter will be posted to me. My contract states "Either party may terminate it at any time by giving 28 days written notice." Can a verbal termination by phone be regarded as same as written notice?
Q. What grounds have I to insist that the termination date be 28 days from the date I receive written notice by post as made clear in contract?
Any advise would be appreciated.
Denise
