I am not sure if this is the right forum but here goes.
I started a 3 month contract via a agency back in 08-01-2014 with the end date on my contract being 04-04-2014. The contract notice terms are 1 week notice from me and one month notice from the agency.
I am not happy with the work and the place in general and I notified my agent approx one month into the contract. My agent told me to see how things go since it's only a 3 months contract. Before joining the agent kept calling me continuously to tell me how great the working environment was.
After one more one month I decided I have had enough and spoke to my agent about my plans to NOT extend the contract and requested that I be relieved early. I had 5 weeks left on my contract at that time
In the meantime I spoke the client directly and mentioned him of my intentions. He was suprised because the agent had not told him about my plans and the client said that he will have to see if he can relieve me early. But then I noticed I started getting more work, which was not agreed originally but I didn't mind because I do have the necessary skill set.
In the meantime my agent emailed me quoting that the earliest day I can leave is the end date as per the contract (04-04-2014).
I asked my manager again for a end date and this time I suggested 28th March 2014 i.e a total of 4 weeks since I notified him of my intentions of not extending and I also mentioned I wanted the last week off because of Good Friday etc.
My manager has still not bothered to reply to my emails or speak to me about it. I have sent a strong worded email to my agent asking him for a response.
Is it legal to hold back people even though they are unhappy with the work and place and especially when the candidate has requested he be relieve only one week (3-4 days) early?
