US workers generally don't work on "contracts", that's more of a European phrase. I'm guessing OP probably works in a European environment which probably has different rules around this.
- rusk 9y agoYou're correct! But I was given to thinking property law and contract law were the fundaments of US law too?
- jdavis703 9y agoYes, but for example, in the U.S. you can get a lot more damages for certain legal concepts which I don't think are present or as well recognized in many European countries. For example, there's the idea of "pain and suffering." So if you're physically harmed by someone, you can claim costs for your hospital stay, damage to your property, missed work, etc, but you can also get an additional sum because of the "pain and suffering" you had to endure.
- rusk 9y agoOh you mean "damages"? Yes we have that too.
