Employment contract
Discussion
Good morning
A couple of queries that I hope the employment experts can help me with.
I have been working for a company for a couple of months and they have yet to give me a contract. This is a full time position and is not temporary. Does my employer have to give me a contract or can they just keep me working without one.
Also the job I have been employed to do is very different to the one I am now doing. I was originally supposed to be out on the road travelling between sites which meant I would have been able to claim mileage allowance. I am now in the office 5 days a week which involves a very long commute which means I cannot claim mileage so I am now out of pocket.
Any thoughts?

Contracts do not need to be written down. If you want one just ask. Re change of role; if it's a true change of role, then this really should be discussed with you. If however it's just that the modus operandi has changed, then that's expected in business. If you were banking on mileage to supplement your income, that's not usually a recommendation. Start conversations with boss and/or HR and get things cleared up. Good luck!

...has some further info. Generally I would see a lack of written contract as a generally bad sign, like lack of organisation or poor management. Are you with a small/recently formed company? This might explain the lack of contract.
As an employer, albeit very small one, it is clear that there are many benefits for all with a clear contract, statement of particulars and company handbook.
