Hi,
I have a general, contract / HR related query.
Does a contract need to be signed in order to be actionable?
A relative recently left their job - they had no contract during their employment but were offered a new contract, didn't sign it and decided to leave instead. They now think they've lost out on some favourable terms contained in the unsigned contract (back money / bonus etc) - do they have ant recourse to the contract. They've had the unsigned contract in their possession for about 4 or 6 weeks.
Do their old terms of employment apply or are the new terms inferred on the basis the contract was given to them?
Thanks in advance.
