    there is a big hype of employers providing extra efforts to make its employee acceptable and support to update them etc etc. but still at times you get the answer 'Sorry its not in our policy'. Isint it time for employees to also give a contract to their employers to sign in which they agree to what individual specifications or genuine demands are?
    preparing contract (2 different) and signing contract should be done by both employers and employees

    what the **** are you on about?

    The real question is: Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

    Every day I find more and more reasons why we should bring back the workhouses.

    Live, horse, and you'll get oats. How's that for a demand?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 311 ✭✭simply simple


    Obviously there has to be some official format on this, not just oats and horses and ****


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,382 ✭✭✭petes


    I agree. If ever I find myself out of a job and an opportunity arises I will draw up a contract for the prospective employer to sign with my demands in it.

    I'll be out of work for a while.

    Personally I think hand driers are for chumps. God gave us pants for a reason - to wipe our hands on after washing them.

    All this air-blade nonsense has really gone too far.

    And what's with fizzy cola-bottles these days? They've not got half the flavour of the cola-bottles of my youth.

    Huh? What about my rights?

    What the hell is this thread about anyway?

    would you leave your employees here or take them with you, may be you will get some contracts to sign on from your employees after that to get your commitment and for security purpose :D

    I've pulled out of your country and moved somewhere where my employees are glad of a job and don't think they are entitled to a hangover day every Monday and a twelve onch pizza on a Friday.

    I don't care.

    The day a company comes to you OP and begs you to work for them, that's the day you get to make up your own contract.

    It was other way round during boom days but still they made employees to sign their contract so you see its totally irrelevant

    What?? Signing an employment contract doesn't mean you sign your rights away. Besides, the vast majority of them are extremely general.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 655 ✭✭✭hyperborean

    "See ye later alligator" its easy to get people to work for money without having to wipe their arse for them as well,

    The sense of entitlement of some people is astonishing,

    Here is the simple simple facts,

    I have a job I need doing and I am willing to pay someone to do it,
    Do I
    a, find someone who wants to do it and pay them on completion
    b, let someone tell me how they want it done and pay them anyway

    but this gives employees some pressure and makes them more comitted so whats wrong doing it in both direction??


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,311 ✭✭✭Procasinator


    There should only one contract, not two. That makes little sense - the contract sets out the terms of your employments, and is for both you and your employer.

    You are allowed to try to negotiate the terms of the contract that is offered to you. However, of course, the employer can refuse your suggested amendments.

    If you are not happy with the contract, and can't reach an agreement, then don't sign the contract.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,496 ✭✭✭Boombastic


    Isn't that what unions do?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 904 ✭✭✭Drakares


    If you don't like the terms and services of working for a company, don't work for the company.

    If you're ridiculously, and I mean ridiculously good at what you do and no one else can do it.. PhD styled genius, then you can demand your own contract.

    Otherwise why should you be deserving of your own personal terms?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,297 ✭✭✭Jaxxy

    How does it put the employee under more pressure? To attend work in a timely manner?

    Contracts, in their verbal or written forms are there to protect the employer AND the employee. I really don't understand what the problem is.

    finding out how would an employer and employee react to the thought of having another contract and will all help justifying or rejecting this thought- is my point to raise this on the first place

    There's a term for people who make up their own contracts and don't answer to anybody else - self employed. If you are willing to take on all the risks and responsibilities of running a business, do it. If not, eat your humble pie and do as you are told :p

    at last; a sensible post

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    guys seriously, both are bread winners for each other. But this would be really an option looked forward by those who are termed as 'skilled resources'.

    will rephrase it.
    both employees and employer need each other to earn money or livelihood or whatever. What I said in my first post regarding having contracts by both and signed by both can be an option very well understood where the resources are scarce. Skilled employees who are very less and high in demand will have no problem with this thought and I guess if the contract made by an employee follows some fixed formats and standards and abide by law and regulations then employers may understand this thought.

    What it comes down to is basic economics - employers want to pay as little as possible and employees want to earn as much as possible. The market will dictate who calls the shots. If there are loads of people with the skills needed, their value drops. If there are very few people with the required skills, they hold the cards. It doesn't matter who types up the contract, it is whichever side is in demand that gets the better deal.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,311 ✭✭✭Procasinator


    I don't see the point if having separate contracts at all really.

    It would be ridiculous having separate contracts. A contract should cover the terms and expectations for all parties, not a separate contract for each person.

    OP: You can negotiate on contracts. You might not be successful, but you can give it a try. I have successfully negotiated a lax in IP clauses/anti-competition before, and other misc perks of a job. But generally in a multi-national or any sizeable company, there isn't going to be much wriggle room, besides on the obvious details like salary.
