I wonder if you're referring to jobs outside of the U.S.?
Salaried software developers in the U.S. typically don't have actual contracts.
- constantcrying 3y agoHow can you be an employee without having a contract?
- icedchai 3y agoIn the US, most employees do not really have "contracts." You'll generally get an offer letter that you return to accept the job, but it's not a legally binding contract. You're an at-will employee.
- constantcrying 3y agoSo, companies can just not pay their employees? And employees can do whatever they want with no recourse by their employer?
- icedchai 3y agoNo. If the employee doesn't do what the employer wants, they are at-will and can be fired. Payment / wages is covered by labor laws and can result in legal problems if not corrected.
- constantcrying 3y ago>Payment / wages is covered by labor laws How are wages defined, if not by a contract?
- icedchai 3y agoIt’s in your offer letter. You can read up on how this differs from a legal contract.
- grepfru_it 3y agoYou have an explicit contract. Employment which defines job requirements and pay. You sign it with your offer letter. It is usually very light in nature. As an exempt salaried employee you can simply check your email and (legally, backed by case law) call it a day of work. In an at-will state an employer can let you go for any reason. The contract is favorable to both parties at the same time
