Quick background. I am contracting for a company at present and was supposed to be there until 31st December.
I was told this time last week that the "work was drying up" and they'd have to let me go early. The conversation went no further than "we're probably looking at the end of the month" (October)
So, the understanding I got from the meeting is that I'm leaving 25th Oct as I have a holiday booked for the following week.
The problem is, I haven't been given an actual end date and I'm reckoning that they are expecting me to leave next Friday
My contract states that I must be given One Week's written notice so I'm thinking that I have a right to turn up for work on the Monday after my holiday UNLESS they provide me with written notice by this time next week.
So, where do I stand? If I exit stage left next week does that imply my acceptance of their terms? Should I rock up on the Monday after my holiday if they don't give me a written termination date? Am I due an extra week's pay if they don't provide notice?
