Agreed. It's easy to get worked up about paying for nothing, but the potential downside is often greater.

There's a big difference between working with employees, something I know very little about, and working with contractors, which I have much more experience with.

In the case of a contractor, it's possible to simply end the engagement without the same burden of evidence or due diligence.

Not a stupid question by any means- it's an important one!

In my case it's done based on the original contract, which provides for 30 days notice.
