I entered into a contract with them in good faith.

Andrea C. Carerro points out elsewhere in this thread that a contract for services should have a different standing from a contract for employment, and that consulting a lawyer is far preferable to assuming that a contract is governed by At Will employment laws. Her comments, incidently, provided me the clarity to understand Beth's recent poser, which I took presbyopically to be about work arrangements using a middleman agency to handle contracts, payroll, etc. Sorry Beth, I didn't mean to evoke such a bleak, Malthusian landscape for all contractor-dependent businesses, heh heh :--)

Everything about Beth's question actually hinges (for me, in the US) on whether we're talking about a contract for services as an independent contractor would do, or for employment as a W2 temporary employee "contractor" would do.
Over and out.
