My hub got a job offer.. he asked them to put it in writing...? |
they sent an email, desribing the terms but no one signed it. In the event they did not come through with there promises, would this be valid? thanks I don't think so. He needs the offer in writing before commiting. no as job descriptions can and do change. No, and an offer isn't necessarily binding even if it is signed. If you're looking for a contract of employment, talk to an attorney. I just got a job offer via e-mail and I replied - accepting the terms. There is not a lot at stake for me. I don't have to move, if it doesn't work out, I will move onto something else. A few years ago, we moved across the country for a job that my husband took. You can be sure that he had an employment contract in place before we even wrapped one plate. They paid all our moving expenses, provided a lease car, flights out to look for housing, temporary accomodation, it even had a termination clause, that if it didn't work out and he left within the year, they would pay him 6 months salary and all his moving expenses. Well guess what, 5 months after we moved across the country, they re-organized the company and let him go. We had a 6 month cushion to find something else and no bill left from the move.So employment contract is the way to go if moving and big bucks are involved. Otherwise, a hand shake and a start time and date are good. |
