Contract Law

[Happy Seagull]

My boss wants to rip up my current contract and have me sign a new one. Anyone know how i stand legally on this issue?

 

[bhanutz]

whats the reason?

 

[Everest]

It's a contract. If he rips it up, sue him.

 

[ben andrews' girlfriend]

Depends when your release date on your contract is

 

[Hoggy]

is your new contract going to be beneficial to yourself?

What he said. Also it depends if the new contract is beneficial to you or not.

To be able to rip it up, I'm sure you would have to sign something agreeing to it first. If you find yourself worse off you maybe entilited to some form compensation?

 

[tedebear]

Its not as simple as that Happy S.

Will he replace it with a better contract? Or with a worse one?
Whats the reason for the replacement? Is your current contract actually binding?

It will probably state in your current contract how either party can remove themselves from the current contract - so your answer is probably there!!

Ask your trade union. You'll almost certainly get free legal advice.

It also depends what contract you originally signed. It may have said something along the lines of your employer being able to alter your contract as long as you are given x months notice.

it also depends on who you wan to win x factor

we have a winner... or your employer can serve notice on the existing contract and reissue a new one.

I thought an employer can serve notice on an employee that they intend to change their contract of employment. Go to your Union rep immediaetly. if you work in an non unionised workplace try the citezens advice beruea

If you work in a non-unionised workplace, it doesn't matter. Join a union. Some unions will let you do it online.
