Early termination of the contract by client

[Old Greg]

Now I see what people are saying but imagine if it was the other way around.

We get people on here moaning when contractors give notice anyway. Imagine, as a contractor, strolling into client and saying "Im not giving notice I'm off at the end of the day".

Client would be mega wassed off.... Agent would blow his lid as well I expect if it meant they lost a months worth of their margin.

Yes I know the relationship is different but I still thinks its a bit tight when clients do this. OK they're situation has changed but, come on, play fair and just give notice.

If it was we, even though you might not get anywhere, I'd be pushing for that months notice. Whats there to lose? It'd be a good laugh if nothing else.

The OP is legally entitled to be mega wassed off and blow his lid.

Still, may be worth making a fuss and seeing if you can get a week's payment out of them.

Easy enough to send invoice to agency etc. Small claims if you're so inclined.

Why. The contract states no pay without timesheet. What is there to take to court?

Actually, dont IPSE cover for things like this as well? I remember claiming one day off them once (notice period was one day) when a gig got pulled at 5pm on a friday before monday start once.

No. You claimed under the following event..

The Contracted role does not exist or is withdrawn after contract is signed but before the on-site date.

But did he deduct one day's JSA + housing benefit payment from the claim?

Well, funny you should say that. He was on JSA at the time. Benefits fraud anyone?

Nah was on JSA at the time so just didnt stop claiming :-)

Same as when I keep quiet about the tenners I get paid in cash for the handies I offer round the back of the Job Centre.

Oddly enough that's the most believable story you've posted in a long time.
