My wife works for the local authority. A few weeks ago they all received letters about new terms and conditions to their work contracts. They had to voluntarily agree to the new terms and sign the new contract or, they would be given 3 months notice.
My wife signed hers but, underneath her signature added the words ‘under protest’.
Yesterday she received another letter saying that because she added those words under her signature, it was seen as non-acceptance and she was given 3 months notice. Along with her notice was the contract again. She was given some options, either sign the contract and she would be reappointed into her job after the notice period, don’t sign it and leave after three months, or don’t sign it but if she turns up for work after the notice period that will be seen as acceptance of the new terms and she will have to work under them.
I know local authorities can pretty much get away with anything, but does the wife have a leg to stand on if she took this to a tribunal? This is nothing short of bullying!!
Is the employer legally entitled to view a contract signed uner protest as non acceptance?

without the exact details of the contract it can be changed with notice and also it is legal to say that you can either agree or be found in fault of it. signing a contract must be done when you agree. under protest is the same as not signing it. still seek legal help just to be safe know your opinions

It is not a good idea to seek legal advice over the Internet - the field of Law is too complex for that.
Your wife needs to seek the advice of an attorney that handles employment law for employEES.
Good luck.
