Can your boss change the conditions of your contract once you have signed it?
for example, if your contract states you have to give 4 weeks notice when resigning from your job, can the boss then say, its now 8 weeks notice that you have to give, even if you haven't been given a new contract saying this, and your contract still says 4 weeks?
Answers:
An employer can change the conditions of your contract, but they can only do so by producing a new contract (which you, of course, have to sign to acknowledge you have seen it and understand it).
They cannot verbally change anything. It's against the law in the UK.
They can change it, but they have to give you a new contract to sign that you agree to
No. You are only bound by the terms and conditions that you signed. He can give you a notice stating that he is changing the terms, but once you give notice, there is nothing he can do.
Be prepared to file a claim against him if need be
As far as i know the conditions of your contract cannot be changed unless it states that the contract will be reviewed in say for example 12 months.
no to change a contract your boss has to give 13 weeks notice. UK anyway
Sounds like he doesnt want to lose you! Just remember these people can f*** things up for you by giving a poor reference. A good boss would normally just let you go, so maybe this is a small business where you are needed.
I'm guessing you are in the UK which has social security ( unlike say the USA) . So you should maybe explore the "sickness" route !
they can only do this if they re - issue you a new contract and you sign it. if your old contract states that you only have to give four weeks notice, then take it into work and show them.
no changes and amendments to contracts need to be signed verbally is not legally binding
In a word NO! Whatever thet say to you without a new contract nothing can be changed. Fight em all the way!
From memory your employer can change your contract of employment, however they need to give you notice of the change before the change comes into effect, ideally they should then offer you the new contract to sign, if you do not sign it but continue to work for them it would be deemed that you have accepted the nw contract after a period usually of six months.
I am not sure if that helps at all and it may be a bit out of date, I would suggest that you ask for any changes in writing, if you are a union member take this to them if not I would suggest somewhere like the citizens advice bureaux before getting legal advice this may save you money in the long run.
Good Luck . :-) .
I wouldn't worry if I were you.
The notice can rarely be enforced by an Employer and it just means if they do try and sack you (it does happen) for anything you get more notice.
If you ever want to go early just cause hell for them and they won't stop you.
A signed contract is an offer accepted and legally valid. For a valid contract, there should have been an offer made and there should have been an acceptance and legally bound. Both are offer and acceptance should have been made legally.

Unless there is something else in writing, that you have signed to say you agree to, after your initial contract has been drawn up, your boss can NOT change the rules.
Absolutely not! - You are obliged to give 1 month notice to terminate your employment, but your employer on the other hand is obliged to give longer notice (dependant on the length of service) up to a maximum of 12 weeks.
as long as you have not sign the new contract i will follow the old one.
