I recently applied for a job for a big transport company, I will be employed by their own sister agency and will start work Thursday 6th December. I have done the varied assessments and all went well, except they haven't issued me with a contract yet. Am I entitled to one before I start? Do I force the hand on the contract issue, or should I get going, settle in and wait a few weeks? Thanks to anyone that can give me an answer.

Most employees are legally entitled to a Written Statement of the main terms and conditions of employment within two calendar months of starting work. This should include details of things like pay, holidays and working hours. However it is good practice for a prospective employer to at least put in writing the main details of the offer in advance of someone joining and them maybe issuing the contract but not all firms follow good practice I am afraid.
It may just be worth asking if they could email you over the main terms of the offer in advance of them sending your a written contract.
