Guest Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 Hmm, no contract then the world is your oyster. 56862[/snapback] AFAIK, and IANAL, if you are employed by someone then you are bound by their terms of employment whether you sign anything or not. If they have a contract in a cabinet somewhere then you have to abide by it by law. As I say though, I could be wrong but that is the way I understood it when I looked into it after being presented with a **** contract to sign. I was told that even if I didn't sign it the fact that I was employed by the company then I was bound by its contents as long as they weren't breaching any H&S or EU working laws etc....

bellman Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 IANAL but unless something has my sig on it i'm not legally bound by it. If anybody then tried to infringe my rights then I'd be willing to push the point in court. Chances are that it would be deemed to be unenforcable, especially if i'd not seen or signed it.

Chris Teague Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 Some firms will try the old "custom of practice" ploy. If you've been doing something for over 12 months, then it can be argued as a custom of practice. I tried to bring a past employer to book when confronted on site & alone by intruders when on call out duty, as they had no job description in respect of call out duty. Pi@@ing in the wind mate, boss not interested in me, only the firms image, cus he had a black spot in the system where they got in and managed to ransack the place before tripping the alarm. Any of the bosses on here have such a job description for call out?

bellman Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 The key word here is "statutory" AFAIAA, Anything above that could be tested in court, the firm would have to PROVE that any other terms were implied or verbaly agreed Regards Bellman Service Engineer and all round nice bloke ) The views above are mine and NOT those of my employer.
