Amendment Employment Contract

An amendment is a mutually agreed change whether an addition or deletion or both to the original contract. It includes the terms, clauses, sections, and definitions to be changed in the original contract. It also references the title and date of the original contract. All parties must sign amendments.

Typically an addendum supersedes that portion of the original contract that the addendum specifically addresses. That's a general rule.

A contract of employment is a legal agreement between the employer and the employee. Its terms cannot lawfully be changed by the employer without agreement from the employee (either individually or through a recognised trade union).Your employer should not breach equality laws when changing contract terms.

Most contracts only need to contain two elements to be legally valid: All parties must be in agreement (after an offer has been made by one party and accepted by the other). Something of value must be exchanged -- such as cash, services, or goods (or a promise to exchange such an item) -- for something else of value.

An unsigned written contract can be binding, although a court will look at all of the circumstances before concluding that the parties intended to be bound. The lack of a signature would normally suggest that the parties had not yet reached the point where they were agreeing to be bound.

Alterations on the Contract (or Strikethroughs) You can make changes directly on the contract by using a redline or strikethrough method. Replace an Entire Section with an Alteration. Describe the Amendment in a Separate Document.

There's something in the contract that allows the change (usually called a 'flexibility clause') the employee agrees to the change. the employee's representatives agree to the change (for example, a trade union)

Generally, unless the terms of the contract specify otherwise, a valid addendum requires the signature of all parties who signed the original contract. This provides evidence that all parties agreed to the addendum, though for the agreement to be enforceable, all parties must also understand what they are signing.
