Won’t be available for my current gig for a short period. In a similar situation a while back, end-client asked if there was anyone else I could put forward while I was away, but there wasn’t time to organise – now it is possible, however.
Tasks for the substitute might include building some unit tests for a particular isolated section of the system; I think development of new features is unrealistic given the timeframe. I'll also ask them to monitor the services that I've provisioned and take remedial action like restarting them/probing logs in case fires start (very possible). It’s entirely remote, for what that’s worth.
Some questions.
Originally I’d been thinking about fielding any emails/communications from the PM and forwarding them on, but (duh) that’s subcontracting rather than substitution. For full substitution, is there any kind of template contract that can be used? And short of a handcuff clause which I would hardly have the leverage to enforce, is there any way to prevent the gig being poached?
There is one cloud services account. I will relay the credentials and have the password changed afterwards. End-client always communicates with my company email, so I'll create another user for the sub in o365 and deactivate it afterwards.
Quantity of time is flexible. I had been thinking 2-3 days, which will cover the period I’ll be unavailable. But that can be increased if it’s a more robust demonstration of the right to substitute. Any thoughts on this?
