    Hi, just got a new job and on each page of the contract at the bottom it has "Initialed:..." and "Date:..."

    Just wondering if this is for me to sign and not the company? Never had to do this for any previous contracts before and don't wan't to seem like a n00b

    Thanks

    Oh sorry another quick one. The part where it says

    "Signed for and on behalf of the employer"

    This is for the company to sign - not me right? Sorry for the stupid question

    That sounds like you should do that - I reckon that's so an employee can't claim that extra pages were added to the contract, as often it's only the last page that is actually signed.

    Correct.

    Don't stress too much about it - they most likely know it's your first contract, and if you do sign a part you shouldn't have (or the other way around), I'm sure they'll just sort it out.

    They probably should have sent 2 signed copies though; one for you to keep as your record, and one for you to sign and return for their records.
