Hi,
I'm a ltd company contractor and i've recently concluded a contract - I gave my notice early (contractually 2 weeks) as I noticed there was quite a bad culture in the organisation and I wanted out.
I did my 2 weeks notice and all of my timesheets over the 3 months I was there have been approved by the client - except for my work on the final week which was 2 days (monday and tuesday).
I have chased the client to sign these and also have asked the agency who placed me to also chase them, however -it's now quite clear to me the client have no intention of approving them. They are basically just trying it on as I feel like they are probably annoyed I decided to leave before the end of the contract -.
I fulfilled my obligations of the project - and did a detailed handover.
I have copies of plenty of emails / meetings that took place in their office on the last two days that I can point to as evidence of me working those days - and also know colleagues who will vouch for me being in the office and working those 2 days.
I have a clause in my contract that says the agency will not pay invoices unless accompanied by a signed timesheet from the client. I have also opted out of the working regulations.
What's my best course of action here? I intend to be as annoying as possible and keep chasing the client via phone/email/text...but legally - do I have any recourse I can take against the client to get them to approve my timesheet and/or the agency to pay my invoice?
I know it's only 2 days - but i'm stubborn - i've worked these days and they should pay me! Plus I love a legal battle!!!
