    Default Written Notice of Termination Not Given

    My question involves independent contractors in the state of: FL
    I had an independent contractors agreement with a company who verbally by phone told me he was terminating me immediately and gave me no specific reason other than he didn't think I believed in the company's mission (I'm a contractor).

    Under the terms of the Independent Contractor Agreement, I am entitled to receive a written notice of a material breach of contract. The Agreement then states that I have ten days to remedy the situation.

    The Agreement also includes a Termination clause that states that the Company must provide 30 days written notice of termination

    By not performing one or both of these, has the company breached the contract? Should I be entitled to the 30 days pay? There is also an arbitration clause in the contract and I suspect the owner may believes that he can do anything he wants because I would have to go through arbitration to fight it. I cannot afford arbitration.

    Sounds like you may have some recourse, but I don't know if it would be 30 days' pay. See an employment/contract attorney in your state.
