Would you walk quietly away?
« on: April 14, 2004, 09:37:38 pm »
Just been informed that Choices Video are getting a National Contractor to do the windows and
"Sorry for the short notice but we only just heard".

I know there's not a lot can be done but how about sending an invoice for a months cleaning in lieu of notice?

Anyone done that?

Anyone know who the contractor is maybe I can sub it back?

i dont know who the National Contractor is BUT i had the same problem with a Vodaphone shop in poole they got a National Contractor in,  i spoke to the bloke once but did not tell him i was the old one and he said that he was not happy drive miles for jobs, ANYWAY  Vodaphone was not happy as well not geting a good job done, so 5 months down the line i got the job back, so fingers cross mate.

Hi

I'm not involved in window cleaning but in the commercial office cleaning world I would definately invoice.

Do you have a signed contract with them stating your notice period?

If so they are in breach of contract if no notice is given.  I have argued this with companies and in the end they let us serve notice rather than pay for cleaning works that we don't carry out, although our contracts state a three month period we do at times reduce this period.

What have you got to lose by invoicing?  Accompany it with a letter stating your terms and conditions and your period of notice required.

Good luck
