Employment Law FAQ
Refusal To Sign
What happens if an employee refuses to sign their Statement
of Particulars of Employment?
Firstly you should discuss their concerns or queries about the
statement with a view to gaining their acceptance and clarifying
any misunderstandings. If he or she still refuse to sign it and
don't raise specific objectives but carry on working, he or she
will be deemed to have accepted the terms and conditions. However,
it will be difficult to enforce clauses such as deductions from
wages and shortterm working without signed agreement from the
employee.
