Not really employment law as such but it's regarding employment and i'm just looking for a bit of feedback as i don't know if i could be just being picky.
The company i work for are reviewing contracts for everyone and i've been given mine. Everything is about right except the rate of pay is wrong. Approx. 2 months ago i was given a pay rise and this contract has the old rate listed as my rate of pay. Doesn't list my overtime rate at all even though it's 1.25.
The company and myself are finally on good (or decent) terms but it wasn't always that way. Years of hard work to try and better the relationship is what i put in to get it this way but in the back of their mind is still that i am difficult even though like i say, we get along now. To their credit they have also made changes and have acknowledged that both sides needed to in order to progress but that's drifting off topic. I'm only mentioning this to give a brief background.
Now i don't know if saying that needs correcting before i sign it (as they want it back soon) is going to cause unnecessary aggro. They could say "you know what we mean, it was drafted up a few months ago" and yes - this was correct, if it was a few months ago, but it's not. Chances are they wont put me back on that rate of pay. The problem is everything is just "you know what we mean". Why can't we mean what we say? Why can't right be right instead of just sort of right but you know what we were trying to do really?
Would you sign it or ask for it to be corrected?
