WHAT are you talking about? This is getting to be a tough crowd lately at PPOT? Maybe I should start a thread stating that I'm going bankrupt and I'm gonna screw over everyone that I owe money too. You know, to make some friends around here? Jeesh.
I've "taught" more lawyers about contract law than they've ever advised me about. I know I might come across as an arrogant prick sometimes (Ha); OK, most of the time, but my posts are sincerely to help or assist, not to attack or judge. I'm just an old fart that has done alot of shat in his life, if you dont want to listen to my point of view, dont. Take some guys point that is offering his 'theory' then.
1. First point. The employer offers you a job, but in order for you to get the job you have to sign their documents without legal representation or at the very least having them properly notarized, whereby somebody with a background in legal documents explains them properly to you before you sign. Simply signing a document in front of Mrs. HR doesn't cut it imo. If you needed the job badly, you would sign anything they put in front of you, just get me the frickin pay cheque already. A lawyer can argue this easily in either Country. On top of that, they don't provide you with a copy of a document that they expect to uphold in the court of law; sorry, that ain't gonna fly either. Full disclosure means providing copies to ALL parties that sign. Period.
2. Pretty much explained in 1, but my second point is that when you sign a document that is expected to be held up in the court of law, that can have legal and binding implications on your person, then those documents must be executed properly either with legal representation or at the very least with a notary that explains the document to you, before you sign. Without this you can legally take recourse that you did not know what you were signing OR the HR gal didn't explain it that way OR the HR girls said this/that. This won't hold up in court either.
Sorry if my first post was too brief to understand, but I assumed Rick would get some legal advice anyway. Good Luck Rick, I hope you get an opportunity to move on soon.
