2 week notice denied

[Too Late]

Hi

I contract direct with a company which has been great for a couple of years. This changed when invoices started to not be paid on time and the opening of an office dedicated to sourcing and placing professions like myself at a cheaper rate in another location. Another issue was my contract renewal was 4 weeks late in April, meaning i was working at the company without the proper insurance for 4 weeks, i could have easily moved roles and they could have easily said, seeya...

With this new office, other contractors in my office have since moved to new contracts with a 2 week notice rather than 4 arranged with their manager.

My role was being moved into a "temporary" role to see out my contract which ends late October with a clear indication it wasnt being extended. With this is mind, i was a bit proactive and got a role on the circumstance that i could join in 2 weeks. Manager said it shouldnt be an issue, my work was winding down for this role transition.

Well the inevitable happened. My manager is now pushing very hard for a 4 week notice period and the new role wont take me on unless i can start in 2 weeks. what are the legalities of moving on in 2 weeks rather than 4. My contract states that the company can only chase monies which are owed to them. It also complicates the issue of if/when they will pay the invoice for this month

Flooble. What a fantastic reply. There is a substitution clause.

Being at this company for the time I have been does keen it's grey on the ir35 and I would probably fall into that. That is another reason for the move.
