FAQ

If there is no written record of the terms of the employment, it makes it harder to prove the existence of certain terms if action is taken against the employer. The lack of a contract can also prevent the employment relationship being legally binding between both the employer and the employee.

Once the applicant has accepted the job, there is a legally binding contract of employment between the employer and the applicant. The law does not require witnesses or a signature to make it valid.

In some cases, yes--especially if you're not working under a contract. Without a formal contract, you're considered to be employed at will, which means that both you and your employer have the right to terminate the employment relationship at any time.

If you did not sign a contract in most cases you would be an at will employee and can be terminated for any reason, however if the employer had a policy regarding what constitutes termination, and requires just cause for termination you would be protected.

Legally you, cannot be employed without a signed contract. However, that obligation falls on the employer, not the employee. So, if anyone gets into grief over it, it would be your employer.
