In employment law the absence of a contract means NOTHING

The moment you recieve your 2nd pay packet albeit weekly or monthly etc the terms and conditions of your employment are what you work its called "IMPLIED TERMS"

The basis of dismissals etc fall outside the realms of contracts anyway as they are STATUTORY LAW

The only thing that not having a contract in place could harm you is holiday pay benefits etc including the allowance for COMPASIONATE LEAVE
