So, If someone hypothetically worked for a large organisation, and the company decides to mass roll out new contracts for everyone in order to align with other sites. Consultation period and meetings all took place, then they finally hand over the new contract but it's massively incorrect in the employees favour. Would he/she be obliged to point out the errors or keep quiet?  |

Have experienced this
Huge bank, bought the company I worked for and they made some blunders with new contracts!
I don’t know what the legal requirement was but they swiftly changed them. As a gesture of goodwill they gave us 2 years grace with our legacy holiday entitlement  |

Hmmm that is interesting. The thing is they already messed up several and swiftly called them back (including mine). So this is now their 2nd attempt at handing me the new contract  . I think I'll keep quiet, but what I don't know is, if I'll actually receive the benefits on the new contract. I guess time will tell |

Good luck - it worked out ok for us in the end  |

Hypothetically, if the contact was _really_ in my favour, then I would probably go to an employment lawyer to see what their advice is and whether it was worth me signing it asap to lock the company in. |

Seek legal advice
1st of all the wording might sound like it’s in your favour but chances are there will be something in there that won’t be in your best interests
Just an example
When I sold my company many years ago there was a clause in it that held me accountable for any debts that occurred for 24 months
The actual paragraph should of been any pending debts before the date of sale !!I would be liable for
Corporate law is a very shrewd business
Be very very careful
It’s worth spending a few ££ just to be safe |
