I am an engineer. I don't have an employment contract, I have a piece of paper that has my salary and says I'm an at will employee. Ive never had anything else, literally every job - salary and "you are at will". Benefits have changed all the time with no notice. What kind of contacts are you guys getting?
- morgante 10y agoI meant "employment contract" in the sense of the dozens of pages of legal documentation you'll typically sign, including stock agreements, non-competes, etc.
- nommm-nommm 10y agoNever signed anything other than the aforementioned piece of paper (2 sentences) and a NDA. Unless you work for a start up with 5 employees and no HR the HR Dept has its set benefits and forms you must sign, those are not negotiable, only salary is. Typically you are in a standard benefits group depending on the date you were hired and if you are full time or part time. Example: benefits group 3, everyone in that group has the same benefits, you surely aren't going to negotiate special treatment.
