I've been offered the opportunity to move into a permanent role from my current contract status. The client want to know if I can do it off books with the agency - i.e. resign and then take up the offer without involving the agency!
What levers are there that the agency, client or I can pull to smooth it over as I want to do this but don't want to **** up my reputation by doing something underhand.
Notwithstanding the outcry of why anyone would do this - I can only do the new role long term if I'm permanent as its a regulatory requirement otherwise I have to leave in 2 week - what are the legalities or moralities of making the change.
Background is I've been doing this role for 10 weeks covering for a stress/sick leave - having had a very senior person in the role the client have worked out that the reason the department was crap was the leader was crap - they now want a proper person in there role who can (continue) to make a difference and are prepared to pay for it.
Personally I'm near the end of my career - 18 years freelance and just turned 55 this would see me out until I retire - the money is just as good and benefits are better - life insurance, BUPA, car and lots of travel perks. I'd keep my war chest intact and just mothball the company as you never know.
So folks what are the things I need to look out for.
