True, if the last contract was given out..
AND terms would have changed, as a new pay rate will now be produced... and this has been used by at least one company to expalin why they can't backdate pay to prior employees.. " the new payscale involves a change in the contract, and therefore as you are not working with us anymore, then there is no contract and therefore it can't be changed, ergo... you ain't getting backpay'
So who is right?
There is a requirement for a written statement of terms... and a request must be acknowledged.. surely a company can't jsut say... "yeah yeah... same as before.." as a contract or statement will define, length of employment, rights and holiday entitlement etc... with a contract, then it is not easy to change the mind and get rid of staff before they thought they would be employed to..
