| Jan 2 at 19:10 | comment | added | TheDemonLord | @AidaPaul - For sure - point was more a plausible scenario where there could be a delay in generating a contract | |
| Jan 2 at 18:54 | comment | added | user142816 | Thanks, all good points... I've just updated my question a little | |
| Jan 2 at 18:53 | comment | added | Aida Paul | You really don't need a lawyer for a new hire, it's almost always just same employment contract but with blank fields filled in, hence why not even having a draft available would be very, very odd, as you really do not need to change much from one employee to another. | |
| Jan 2 at 18:51 | comment | added | TheDemonLord | @AidaPaul - as I read it, you are legally entitled to a statement of the role, which as you say outlines a few terms - but yeah, I agree it's odd - but then, it is over the holiday period and perhaps they needed someone now, but their lawyer on retainer is off on holiday? | |
| Jan 2 at 18:49 | comment | added | Aida Paul | While getting final and signed contract coming in after start is not unheard of (in startups very common actually), you would at least have draft with you before day one, or terms fo it outlined in an email, something. Not having any of that would be not something I hard of in the UK yet. So we need op to clarify. | |
