Giving notice on contract - any particular wording I should use?

[jamtoday]

Hi CUK,

I need to give early notice on my current contract and wondered if there was anything formal/legal I need to include.

Do I give it to the agent, client or both?

Will email suffice?

Would this do?: 'Apologies for any inconvenience this may cause but in accordance with the terms and conditions expressed in out contract, I need to give 4 weeks notice with immediate effect'.

thanks

Looks OK. Would you like us to hold your hand while you do it?

1. Agent only. Your contract is with them
2. No need to apologize.


"In accordance with the terms and conditions of my contract I wish to give you 4 weeks notice of termination, effective today. My final day of work on this contract will be Tuesday 29th December." (that's the nearest working day to 4 weeks from today)


It's always good to put in the date you mean as your last working day, saves confusion, or a risk that the agent and client discuss one date when you mean another, so they decide to get you for breach of contract.

There may be terms in the contract as to how notices relating to it should be delivered.

He's a new contractor and giving notice and asking for a bit of advice, isn't that what this thing is for? God give a the a guy a break.
