Rights as an Irish Contractor?
Hello all,
I was formerly working for Ryanair as a contract pilot through one of the brooker offices. Having found another job, I left them with less than the contractual 3 months notice on punishment of 5000euros if you don't give the 3 months.
They are now trying to claim the money with agressive letters and e-mails (no registered letter, so officially I didn't receive any of their claims).
I don't just want to pay them this amount of money because I think as a self employed contractor, you have certain rights. And on top of that, they can stop using my services from day 1 to day 2, whereas I, as the service provider should give them a full 3 months notice?
Anybody was in the same situation before? Any ideas as where to find information on my rights and wheter the contract is legal? Anybody knows any legal backup specialised in this kind of cases?
Thanks!
