Hi,
I have recently been presented with a revised contract of employment by my employer.
Upon reviewal, I asked for a number of items to be clarified, most of which were.
But I had a query over one clause which meant the company could make "reasonable" changes to an employee's terms & conditions as would be deemed necessary to meet the business needs of the company.
I am reluctant to sign this as it basically does not give me any control over the other terms & conditions in the contract being changed. My employer has reluctantly agreed to change the wording to something that I would be more comfortable with, but instead of issuing a revised contract document, has told me to edit/modify the contract in pen (my own writing!) and that he & I would inital it.
I am very dubious about this and would appreciate some legal input.
Sounds very unprofessional to me.
