Can anyone advise please? I have been told this morning that my contract will be finishing next Friday 30th of may. However my contract states 6th of June. This is the first time this has happend and I know its the nature of being a contractor. Is there anything I can do?

I assume because I have been told this morning I've been given just over a weeks notice on the clients part? he also told me that his purchase orders have always only had me up till the 30th of May.

any help appreciated

What's the notice period in your contract?

My first thought is, why get agitated about one week ?

Cos I'm a money grabber and the thought of losing a weeks money does my head in

I think I've answered my own question really.....

Having just looked it two weeks notice either way.

I did have a chat with the PM earlier in the month stating that it was unlikely I would get extended as the project looked to be finishing on time.

However nothing in writing.

I guess my argument with myself is do I want to get anal for a week and probably ruin my chances of coming back or not.

What Gig would that be then

Wouldn't bother about it.

Is it really worth souring the relationship with the client, and spending money on court cases (assuming you want to push it that far) for a week's worth of money?

I suspect not.

Just have a week off.

Depends on his factors I guess. If you are not pulling in huge sums and rolls are thin on the ground then an extra weeks pay and free use of their facilities very is useful.

stop working, start looking
