Just make a deal with the client that you won't be working for the last 28 days. Submit your timesheets to the agency for the days worked and then say nothing. By the time the agency figures out what's happened, they will have paid you and you'll be gone.
If the agency don't like it then tell them it's their tough tulip. You work for the client, not the agency - the agency are just a parasitic middle man who introduces you to the client, factors the payments and takes a cut for their trouble.
Absolutely do not entertain any suggestion that you will get paid a penny less than you are owed or that the client will pay a penny more than they owe just because you are exiting early and make sure the client is aware of this too.Free advice and opinions - refunds are available if you are not 100% satisfied.Comment

The key to contracting is keeping the client happy while making the agency look good.But at the end of the day you answer to no-one but yourself.Comment
