Hello,
As per guidelines I've checked the search etc to see if there are any answers for my particular question and couldn't see any, so hopefully someone can help...!
I'm returning to contract after 3 years on the permanent side (7 years contracting before that) so I am a bit rusty on the contracting side of things and have lost touch with my old contracting buddies. There a clause in the contract that concerns me, and was wondering if the forum could advise:
"If the representative proves unsuitable to the client within the first 10 days of assignment then immediate notice will be given and the contractor will not charge the company for any time within the first 10 days."
I was just wondering, has anyone seen this clause before and is it pretty standard? Maybe its something that works in my favour with regards to IR35, but a few years ago I wouldn't have expected to have a company terminate my contract without me getting paid just because it was in the first 10 days. I'd still have expected to be paid my time worked and any termination notice period .
Can anyone offer any help / advice on if I should renegotiate this clause or just go with it due to it being standard?
Thanks.
