Contract scenario - anyone? Posted: Jun 30th, 2016 - 11:11 pm
Okay, you're an IC, you decide to scrap the account, but you're a straight-up person, so you give notice.
Somewhere in the interim, you're offered a new IC position. Can a contract stipulate that their offer will hold until a certain date? So that you don't end up leaving a job and not having a new one? Companies usually want you to start right away. How do you solve the 2-week notice phase?
This scenario happened to me once before and I'm not anxious for history to repeat itself. However, I can't imagine any company putting anything in writing that will benefit me and not them. Most companies will not even provide you a contract with their signature on it. Interestingly, if their signature isn't on it, is it still a contract?
After over 15 years as an employee in this field, I suddenly find myself in IC waters, and I'm not that good a swimmer. Any advice would be appreciated, thank you.
