RE: Unusual Employment Agreements

[CGiordano -at- EvergreenInvestments -dot- com]

   Actually I suspect it has to do more with the changing nature of the
   client/agency relationship.  Every agency that has contacted me in the last
   two months has stipulated the importance of not bailing before the contract
   starts. Up until a few months ago, nobody ever even mentioned it!  I found
   out that most of the large employers here in Charlotte now use automated
   vendor management systems, and all them penalize the agencies when someone
   accepts a contract position and fails to show up.  I agree that it  is a
   pretty cheap and sleazy attempt to pass that penalty to the contractors who
   actually provide their bread and butter.
   Unless they're paying you a signing bonus or relo, it's really
   unconscionable. I know I would drop an agency that tried to slip that in.
   However, you need to go with your gut as to whether to try to cut it out of
   the contract, or drop your relationship with the agency altogether.
