Obliged to sign a new employment contract?
Discussion
Don't sign it. If she has been there for less than 2 years they can simply get rid of her, if over that though it will be really hard for them to do so and even if they just sacked her she would likely win at a tribunal. Me, I'd just not sign it and see what happens.
TX.
Edit - too late for that it seems, as above I'd have just not signed and waited for a bit.

If she has a new role which pays more her "constructive dismissal" losses will be slim to nothing, it will cost her more in fees to even draft the claim....
I'm looking into that now - I wasn't aware that could have implications and her solicitors didn't mention it either - she does have cover through her house insurance legal cover and I've been helping with some of the correspondence.Although she is out of the place, and better for it, she is fully expecting to be messed around on her final wage that is due next month, so we'll cross that hurdle when we come to it.
Her employers aren't the most clued up - they are quite maverick on a lot of issues so I'm not convinced that they are trying to bluff her or just being wilfully awkward.

That may well explain why they have not noted this then.........However either way if she can get out and into a new job then that is happy days and a lot less stress.
