If a contract is amended and you are uncertain of the need for a separate written amendment: consult a trade union. The situation is in itself a rare one. The best thing is to set down in a new contract that it is an extension to or amendment of a previous contract. If you have several contracts: keep all of them. The total time worked at a company can be important in calculating notice periods.
Changes to the text must be initialled by both parties in the margin. The number of changes must be indicated next to the signatures. Text included below the signatures is not valid. References are only valid if referred to in the text. This also applies to information on the reverse of a contract: only valid if referred to in the text above the signature. You should be given an original copy of the employment contract straight away.
For more information about the procedures applicable in a given firm, see the company regulations. Ask for your copy or see where they can be viewed.
