FN-FORUM: OT: Contracts of Employment?

date posted 1st April 2005 17:41

Hi
Anyone know if this is legal?

"Having taken advice I have to advise that the
Contract supplied to you on 16 December 2004 are the terms and
conditions that xxxxxx (name of company removed) operate to and we will
assume that you will be bound by these terms and conditions even though
you have not signed the Statement of Particulars."

Appreciating this is a freelancers forum it's due to problems following
a company takeover, where new terms and conditions were imposed without
proper consultation, agreement or compensation that I'm thinking of
freelancing again!

I would add that they are also wanting me to sign what I consider to be
a "backdated contract." Backdated to when they took over the company I
worked for which is three days before I even knew about it!
