Do you have a written employment contract?

If you are an employer, feel free to answer for your employees. Do they have a written contract with you?

Related question: How do legal proceedings on employment work in your place if you don't have a written contract? Let's say you were promised a certain amount of pay or vacation and the employer later does not actually give it to you.

Every job I've had has had a written contract. Even part-time in the local McColls when I was 16. I think it's a legal requirement here

That just means an employment contract can be binding even when it's verbal.

The contract doesn't have to be written when it's agreed. But the employer has to provide a written contract (or document with the main terms of the contract) within eight weeks of employment commencing.

The situation in Poland is the same as in the UK.

I think it is actually the same in Germany. If the employer doesn't give you at least written rules within four weeks, he has the burden of proof about the content of the agreement.

Yes, I have a contract. No, that does not mean my employer can't fire me at any time for any reason.

I have a contract.  Beyond that I am employed by a Public University.  What that means is that while there are no unions here, gross incompetence or inability to perform my job really don't merit firing.

I'm an American that isn't a pro athlete, so no.

[Grey Fox]

Yes, I think it's my first job with one too.

[Razgovory]

I don't even have a job.

[CountDeMoney]

I don't even have a job.

Me neither.

Only contracts I'm obligated to are the mortgage and car payment.

The firings will continue until morale improves.

Only person I personally know with a contract is a bud who is a producer at ABC.
