I mean, I get that approach, but tbh I would rather hash that out with a company before I get hired rather than 4 months down the road when some HR person notices the paperwork is incomplete.
- tomohawk 9y agoBy that point, the paperwork is complete. The hiring completes the transaction as being satisfactory to both sides.
- mseebach 9y agoDepends. There could be a reference in the main contract listing execution of the non-compete as a condition of the validity of the contract.
- Vinnl 9y agoI'd still prefer to have issues resolved before I start employment somewhere, rather than having to deal with it when you're already at work and walking away is a bigger step.
- treis 9y agoThat's not generally how it works. Modifying a contract without being clear that you are making a counter offer isn't going to hold up in court. They are going to see the company's offer, your acceptance, and then hold you to the original company offer.
- ethbro 9y agoFwiw, I'd say at least half of the clauses I've been asked to sign were not included at contract time, but rather at post-contract "do HR paperwork" time. So I don't see how that could be construed to be 'part of the original offer'. Especially if you asked (in writing) if such a clause existed and received a negative / no response before signing the contract.
- emodendroket 9y agoFor the vast majority of workers the company has the right at any time to introduce a new contract and require you to sign it as a condition of continued employment.
