most hires don't get contracts

edit: in USA. we get offer letters, take it or leave it. your job duties can change on the fly, no "contract" to abide by. do the job or leave/get fired. there is some negotiating room, but not a lot

Huh? All jobs come with an employment contract.

You must not be in america. We're lucky if we get breaks.

So if the employer suddenly decides to e.g. start paying you less, how do you prove how much your pay should be?

[–] Sir_Kevin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 3 weeks ago

Previous pay stubs I suppose. Depending on the employer you may have something in writing. This typically wouldn't be contract if you're an employee without a union.

Someone does some digging and figures it out, and maybe five or so years later you get a check in the mail for an amount the lawyers agreed was correct.

There is nearly always a contract and the business will submit tax paperwork with your compensation to the IRS.

Under the table workers are illegal and on their own

still not a contract, that's just taxes.
