Do you have a written employment contract?

[jimmy olsen]

Yes, I have a 12 or 13 page contract.

[Eddie Teach]

Unemployed, so no, but don't think I've ever had a contract.

[HVC]

I do. Had one at both of accounting related jobs. Last one was a long fucker that i had to sign and submit before i could start.

[KRonn]

Nah, I never had an employment contract. Maybe once when I did some consulting work, but for other jobs no contracts have ever been necessary.

[Tonitrus]

I might just have the most binding contract around here.

[The Brain]

Yes.

[Ideologue]

Yes.

[Pedrito]

Yes. Everyone of my employees has a written contract.

[Josquius]

I work full time and legally in the civilized world. Of course I do.

Such is the Japanese way though its not particularly binding. Mine is stuck to a bit more than for Japanese employees though.

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.

The same way any disagrement over provisions of an unwritten contract would be dealt with in a legal setting--if you can prove that those provisions were agreed on, or the other party admits to them, then they're still usually enforcable.

Which is kind of the point of having a written contract...

Incidentally, love the litigation involving disagreement over provisions of an unwritten contract, where one party admits to claims of the other party, concerning the contract's terms - happens all the fucking time.

[Duque de Bragança]

Written contract most of the time. The times when I hadn't one was when I was substituting somebody for a short period of time.

[Brazen]

Always had a contract; I even had two for four weeks of work once

Oh and in the UK we get an extra little section waiving the EU working hours directive, so we can work more than 48 hours a week. Yippee!!!

As RH said in the other thread, subversive ideas like this lead to European totalitarianism.
