FAQ

An employee may file a complaint with the Office of the Labor Commissioner if they believe that a Nevada Revised Statute or Administrative Code is being violated by an employer. The difference between a Complaint and a Wage Claim is that usually when a Complaint is filed, there are no wages due.

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.

Nothing contained in this Agreement will confer upon the Optionee any right to be employed or remain employed by the Company or any Subsidiary, or limit or affect in any manner the right of the Company or any Subsidiary to terminate the employment or adjust the compensation of the Optionee.

Well the answer should be simple and that is that if the applicant was presented with a contract prior to commencement of employment and refused to sign the agreement, then no agreement was reached and the applicant will not work for the employer and cannot be considered to be an employee of the employer.

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.
