18 months working for one client

[laurajane]

Hi There,

I have worked for 18 months one the whole full time for one client.
After declaring his love for me he has now terminated my work without any warning.
He also feels like he owns all my IP.
Do I have any rights?

Pay / Holiday / unfair dismissal / IP

Thanks LJ

What does your contract say?

Questions like this are just a disgrace. You want contractor rates instead of permie rates but don't realise that to get those rates you have to forgo some benefits, namely holiday, employment rights yadda yadda and finally when the tulip hit's the fan you start crying about wanting holidays and employment rights. It is no wonder HMRC are crawling all over us with idiots like this working in our sector/business model.

Awful troll or moron. Not sure which.

Have a read of this and go research the case further if you are interested.

Contractor chases 'unfair dismissal' claim

Also check with your accountant that you have been paying yourself the way you should for an inside IR35 contractor.

Or possibly someone suffering borderline harrassment / discrimination an at least unprofessional behaviour.

But what to do? If this is a large / medium organisation it may be worth going to HR. The guy probably has form.

If the guy owns the company, walk away unless you fancy losing a prolonged harrassment or discriminatoon case

If he's married, tell his wife.

I read this as he's made an advance and been rejected.

No / No / No / Depends on the contract.

Assuming you're not a troll, just move on.

You may have yes but if you've been working outside IR35 I am not sure that you wouldn't ultimately lose, from a financial perspective, if you were to take your client to an employment tribunal which would be the proper avenue for redress.
