| Feb 11, 2019 at 14:47 | comment | added | rath | Just to address some comments, violating contract is not breaking the law. And they haven't broken anything yet, they just indicated they want to update the contract. Your friend is not without recourse because he already has a signed contract with a start date. You're thinking of dispute resolution. | |

| Feb 11, 2019 at 13:30 | comment | added | Mefitico | @JoeStrazzere : By "being in its fair right" what mean is that: Doing so makes actions against you likely to be simply rejected. This has nothing to do with morality, it's about doing things well within the law and possible applications thereof. There are dubious things that could cause legal action to be accepted and the outcome of the legal process to be hard to guess, and there are straight illegal stuff that causes legal action to be almost surely successful if enough evidence is available. Neither would be in someone's "fair right". (I acknowledge that this is unprecise wording) | |

| Feb 11, 2019 at 13:21 | comment | added | Mefitico | @JoeStrazzere: This is good and valid advice, but does not address the question. To clarify your POV, is it your stance on the matter that a company is in its fair right to delay the beginning of an internship with no prior notice ? I'm assuming the company too would prefer to make an agreement rather than break the law or be open to a reasonable legal action. | |

clarifications on contracts
|
| Feb 11, 2019 at 12:59 | comment | added | Mefitico | @SolarMike: As a clarification: The contract with the starting date on February exists and is signed. The amendment with the postponed date does not. | |
| Feb 11, 2019 at 12:58 | comment | added | Mefitico | @JoeStrazzere : I doubt there is an specific law against it. But as asked by SolarMike, there was a contract saying when the internship should start and there was a notice period to be observed before quitting the previous internship. Breach of contract allows legal action anywhere in the world. Notice that the point is to avoid legal action altogether and threats of legal actions. | |
| Feb 11, 2019 at 12:58 | comment | added | Solar Mike | Not signed then not worth the paper it is written on... | |
| Feb 11, 2019 at 12:55 | comment | added | Mefitico | @Solar Mike: Yes. Supposedly an amendment will or should have been sent, but is not signed yet. | |
| Feb 11, 2019 at 12:52 | comment | added | Solar Mike | Is there a contract with a specified start date? | |
