FAQ
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.
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.
§ 2751. In California, there is a presumption of at-will employment absent an express agreement specifying the length of employment or grounds for termination.
Written employment contracts are not required. However, many employers use them when hiring for a high-level or professional position. Most written employment contracts will describe the scope and duties of the job in addition to the salary and any other compensation or benefits.
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.
Whether or not a company should have contract to hire positions depends on the nature of the business and what kind of job it is. Ultimately, it is something that each business decides. Most often, organizations use staffing agencies to find contract to hire workers.
Given that you haven't received a formal contract stating a notice period, it might be possible to leave without giving notice. However, it's always best to check local labor laws and possibly consult with a legal professional to ensure you're covered. Document everything and communicate your intentions clearly to HR.
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.
