[quote=Anonymous]I have been working for a small business as an independent contractor for over a year. In this role, I perform the work at the client's office. The owner is a vicious man and treats everyone poorly. The turnover of both employees and independent contractors is very high. Every time someone quits, courteously, with plenty of notice, he'll do something to try and make them miserable. Examples: one employee gave 3 weeks notice and two days after giving notice was told that she should not return. When the employee asked for her check for work she did up to that date, she was told that she must wait for the next payday, a week later and that she would not be allowed to come to the office to pick up the check so must wait for it to be mailed, some time after payday. Another employee quit with notice after working there for over 15 years (that's right, fifteen) without problems. But when he asked for a letter of recommendation, the employer refused to provide one. The employer also gossips (in a bad way, including lies) about co-workers, employees, clients, everyone.

Having decided that I can no longer work in such a toxic environment, I'm ending our contract., with notice. As an independent contractor, how much notice am I supposed to give? Based on observations of how he's treated others in the past, I expect that he will try to be difficult about paying me during the notice period or may even decide to try and embarrass me by telling me to leave in the middle of my work day. I am sure that he will try to do something negative to get at me during the notice period, as I've seen him do to everyone who has left before. How can I prevent these problems after giving notice?[/quote]
