I never signed a contract with my employer, actually i never saw one, i have a work visa & i have given in my 1 months notice as verbally agreed some time before. now my employer is saying that my contract is a "government" contract to explain why i haven't got one and is saying i have a 2 year contract & that my notice period is not enough. what do i do? as far as i am aware if you don't have a contract & never signed one, it doesn't exist right?

You should get in touch with LMRA to explain your problem. However if you haven't signed a contract, that means you don't have a contract.

It doesn't mean that - it means that the company have probably forged his signature on a contract he has never seen. You can't get a CPR without a contract. The hard part is proving it's not his signature and the company are pulling a fast one. Hence me not only recommending LMRA already but also his embassy.

Forging signature? Whoa. That's pushing it.

But it happens, I know of 3 people this has happened to and they are going through a nightmare to get everything sorted.
I only comment when I'm very sure of something!!!
