I work for a grocery store, my contract hours of work  have been always in the afternoon, during the week, and NEVER on the weekend.  Yesterday it was announced every employee must attend a stock-take Sunday 23 April at 8am. NO exceptions.  I have made plans for that day, as in the two years I've worked for the company I've never worked a Sunday (or Saturday, for that matter), so of course I would continue to make plans for my days off.  They've sprung on me this stock-take with less than two weeks notice, and if I don't show up I can be fired.  Apparently it's a condition of employment, and in the contract I signed, that I have to come in on any day they say, even if the notice is minimal.  I think it's unfair, and two week's notice is not acceptable, especially on a Sunday.\nIs there any recourse that I have if I say "no" to the stock-take and do not show up.  Is this contract actually binding?

If its actually written into your contract your employer has the right to invoke it at anytime, if you choose to stay home you will run the risk of losing your job.

Don't worry about something that you have no control over. Enjoy your weekend & call them monday. If you do get fired, would you really want to work for a dump like that?

Anyplace that I ever worked that had contracts withheld payroll until the contract was signed.  The checks were cut, but not handed over until the contract was signed.  If there is a specific issue that needs to be negotiated, and the employee means more to the company than having a rigid, one size fits all contract, make some modifications that both sides agree on.  Otherwise, I would suggest immediate termination.

Closings get delayed all of the time.  At least you know about it ahead of time.  Unless your contract says that it has to close by the 12th or it will be null & void it shouldn't be a problem.

This isn't a legal issue, it's a company policy issue.  If you are on salary they have to pay you the whole day, because you showed up; however, they can also charge your vacation time for the hours not worked.

Most employment is "at will", i.e. it can be terminated by either party at any time with whatever notice (if any) a party wishes to give.  A 2 week notice by an employee has become an accepted practice but an employee owes an employer no notice should the employee quit and not want to give notice.\n\nLikewise, the employer owes the employee no notice.  Many employers decide not to have a departing employee talking to other employees for 2 weeks and just let them go with no notice to avoid that.\n\nBut that means the employee has been terminated and did not resign because the termination was before the termination  became effective.\n\nYou do not have to be paid for the 2 weeks if, as my entire answer has been predicated on, we are talking about "at will"employment with no other employment contract issues.

You have got a contract but it is a verbal contract. by law you should have written contract of employment within 6 weeks of starting the job.  You should really ask for a proper contract but before you do write down what you consider are the terms of your current contract.  Hours of work, break times, Holiday arrangements, pay review dates etc. and when you ask for a written contract give your boss these details and tell him that is what you consider should be in it. You can also point our that you are entitled to one by law.\nIn fact it is in the interests of the firm to have written contracts because should they have a dispute which has to go to a tribunal they tribunal will hold this failure on their part as a heavy factor against them and if you can say you asked for one and did not get it that would be in your favour\nYou do need to see an experienced employment law lawyer as it is a very complex area of law but the CAB should be able to advise on that

It means that upon your demand, the company has 45 days in which to include the shares issuable upon exercise of your warrant in a registration statement - which enables you to sell the shares (if you want to). It's fairly common for there to be a penalty if the company is unable to file a registration statement within the specified time period.\n\nIssuing new shares would be dilutive; but, the shares that were issuable should have been factored into diluted EPS\n\nTo exercise the warrant, there should be a form to exercise. If you don't have it, contact the company's investor relations department

It should be written in your contract. Normally though if you are paid weekly you have to give a wekks notice and the same for a month ie. a months notice. In higher powered jobs it is often expected that a three month period of notice be given but it must state this in your contract.

well if you gave him a 1 week notice, its only correct to try to finish what you have on your desk. however when friday comes around......see ya, wouldnt want to be ya.\nit is against the law to give any additional work info besides date of hire, date of termination and position if and when they call him for referance, at least in florida, it could be consideed defamation of character... dont you just love our legal system!!!

Absolutely not.  It's sad, but you have to play hardball in the job market.  If they want gaurantees, they should offer you a contract.  Employers never ask for a contract with you because they want the option to dump you the second it's inconvenient to have you around. The flip side of this is that you are fully within your rights to leave whenever you want.  You don't have to give two weeks notice either. That's the way the job market works.

Supposedly they're supposed to pay you for 40hrs/week, however part of the agreement when you take a salaried position is that you will work an expected number of hours per week.  Some employers are more flexible with comp time than others, but if you didn't work your 40 hours you aren't holding up your end of the agreement.

Depends on what and if you signed a contract when you took the job.  Read your ocntract and see what you signed.  If there was no contract then try to negotiate with your employer.

Without going to the CA Code, it's pretty normal for an Evergreen Clause to state something to the effect that "unless notified in writing with X days, the contract will automatically renew".\n\nI'd have your company talk to their counsel.

Usually a contract is a contract.  The "three days" thing is an old law for door-to-door sales only.  So unless it's in the contract that you have a certain amount of time to change your mind, that contract is binding immediately.

More details here would be helpful.\n\nThat said, I am unaware of any express statutory guidance on this, so that leaves you with two things to consider: (a) the terms of your own contract; and (b) common sense.\n\nMany IC contracts have express provisions that prohibit the IC from engaging in acts that would be detrimental to the company hiring them.  For instance, prohibitions against disclosing confidential info, trade secrets, stealing customers or hiring away employees.   Read your fine print.  Assuming your contract doesn't expressly prohibit the training you describe, then you just need to put your common sense hat on and ask: is what I'm doing hurting or damaging to the company?  If the answer is "yes", you run the risk of not only losing your own deal, but also incurring damage claims from the company.

If an employer has a good current address on file and doesn't send you your W-2 before 31 January, then contact the IRS and it will no longer be a problem.  Also, the IRS may extend your deadline past April 15th!  With buy-outs, you'll have to contact the IRS, but I am sure that when a company is bought out, so are the records and the responsibility to send out W-2's.
