Anyone know about notice periods/working for an agency??
Basically I may have a new job, althought not deffo yet. The agency fellow has, with an attitude I might add, assured me my notice period is 4 weeks.
2 things..... 1. Surely if they are the ones paying me, then I work for the agency here and as such should give my workplace one week's notice but give the agency the full 4 weeks if they insist on it, thereby ending up in a situation where I leave the job but still serve a full notice period to the company??
2. I never sent back my contract..... They only have a signed photocopy, does this help me in any way if the above is not the case?
Cheers

............
Paid weekly?
Weeks notice....
Paid Monthly.....Months notice
Unless you have a contract....it doesnt matter if you havent signed it or sent it back....by starting work you have agreed to it's terms and conditions

as an agency worker your a tempoary worker
ive been doing agency work for over 4 years now and ive still not meet a honest agency
most will lie as its you thats putting cash in there pocket
read your terms of engagement it will tell you all you need to know,your employer can pay you off without a days notice.....your entitled to do the same

what does your contract say ffs 
if they have a peice of paper saying 4 weeks then youre bound to it.
if they dont, just fuck off and dont tell them shit
i doubt itll be 4 week tho, as a temp they want to be able to get rid of you ASAP and the notice period works both ways...
