I'm a regular visitor to these forums and I've always found the answers to my queries through existing posts. However, I'm not able to find the answer to a particular problem that I'm facing.
I went for a role which I thought was an immediate start, only to be told that the start date had to be pushed back by over a month. At the time, I thought it was a good opportunity to get a holiday in before I am due to start so I accepted it and signed the contract. Soon after accepting this role, another role came up which was a month long in duration. I put the holiday plans on hold and took this additional role to minimise my time out.
The issue now is that the one month role I'm currently on will be extended and it looks to be a long term role judging by the work there is to do. I wanted to know what happens with the other contract I signed? Can I back out of it anytime before the start date? I've been in situations where I've signed a contract with an agency only for it to be cancelled last minute. There is nothing specific in the contract, only a clause stating that the contract is only valid between the start and end dates.
My preference would be to remain with the current client I'm currently with.
Thanks in advance for any help!
