    AS others have said, there's no breach of contract. Notice periods are for perms anyway...

    Upon request of staying on another week, I'd have pointed out company unavailability due to getting another contract due to their termination notice... a lie but in the circumstances does it really matter?

    As I get older and grumpier I care less about burning bridges with people who are utter dicks.

      It's an absolute sham clause. They'll cite anything to get rid of you. Project pulled, budget run out, etc.
      If they lock you out of the system and tell you not to come in, what can you do. Turn it around - would you work the two weeks for free if you knew they'd run out of budget and couldn't pay you?

      Do the work, make sure you get the timesheet signed but also get acknowledgement and proof that you've worked those days so that you can invoice for them.
      The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn't exist

          The "performance" thing could be anything. Standard "cant be arsed and we want the contractor gone" speak.

          It happens. Should you work the extra week? Depends how flush you are? If you need the money then do it otherwise tell them no.

          Like someone said, I too am getting too old to worry if one client has an issue with me - I dont care anymore.

            You wouldn't think so the amount of bitching and moaning you do.
