    My 6-month contract ended 3 days in!

    Clause 16.1 says they are not liable IF..... and I must have breached another clause for them to not be liable which I haven't. Also the "For the Working Time. The particular days on which the Services are to be provided will be mutually agreed between the parties;" There wasn't even an...

    My 6-month contract ended 3 days in!

    I understand, seems the recruiter and the client have had a major miscommunication (not my fault), but the recruiter can't terminate my contract because they have messed up? Surely?

    My 6-month contract ended 3 days in!

    I didn't say I couldn't work within the hours. I shared my preference and also said that I could send in cover if I couldn't make something. So there was no issue? So what was there reason?

    My 6-month contract ended 3 days in!

    I don't think I can get a bad reputation for doing nothing wrong? I will get more work, that's not my issue (I get about 10 calls a day about jobs!) and don't mean to toot my horn but I'm quite well known in my space already... this is out of sheer principle and after 10yrs of working as a...

    My 6-month contract ended 3 days in!

    In my contract as mentioned above, there is no clause that allows them to terminate. TBH i'm not sure what they would be terminating, as I never said I wouldn't work monday - friday i said it was my preference. I made a suggestion that I could send a sub if needed. They didn't want to even...

    There are 6 clauses and there is no clause where they can just terminate because of this reason (my contract is with the recruitment agency).

    My 6-month contract ended 3 days in!

    no. I also have whatsapp messages where I told the recruitment agency that i require flexibility with working and this was before I signed my contract with them, they were fully aware and also knew about childcare situation. Having said that, I did say I could sort the childcare and I never once...

    My contract doesn't state specific hours and I am allowed to send in a substitute/cover. So there is no issue. 100% my problem is with the recruitment agency.

    My 6-month contract ended 3 days in!

    Hi everyone, My 6 month contract has ended, 3-days in. This was an outside IR35 contract, therefore a B2B relationship. My contract was directly with the recruitment agency. The issue was I let them know that I struggled for childcare on fridays (I did tell the recruiter this before i signed...

    Working Outside IR35 and no idea of objectives?

    I'm not sure if I am posting in the correct channel, but I am due to start a contract next week with a client, which is outside IR35. However, in the contract the "deliverables" is blank. So I have asked for this to be established and the key objectives to be within the contract. Surely...

    IR35 and set working hours?

    Could you explain this in simple terms?? So a company who is classed as small......???

    IR35 and set working hours?

    But a theatre wouldn't hire someone to work outside of IR35, as they need to determine working hours? Or I believe if impact of work would be affected such as if someone works in a bank that is only open 9-5pm, then they should adhere to that. But if there's no "valid" reason.... just they want...

    IR35 and set working hours?

    This is a large organisation, but obviously new to IR35

    IR35 and set working hours?

    This is the thing, when you are hired via a recruiter - you are never the "consultant' regardless of if the contract is outside of IR35 of not, they want you to behave and treat you as an employee. I could be picky about this and stand my ground, but i'd get no contracts? Yesterday I...
