Contract of Employment

ropg

I took up a new role approx 1 year ago however since taking up this role my contract has never been changed - Technically I am still employed under old job title, job description and rate of pay. I did agree to take up this role however do I have a right to obtain new contract with new job title on it, new job description and possibly a claim for increased pay?

I do not think it normal to receive a new employment contract, i.e. your title, JD and salary can all change with the original contact staying in place. Pay increases themselves are usually formally acknowledged via a letter (which you may sometimes be asked to sign). Formal promotions to a new role may also be recognised formally by means of a letter / email.

Best thing would be to have a short chat with your supervisor.

Make sure you raise the issue (maybe not the pay unless was raised for position) with employer - cases have gone to court where
the new role stops and previous employment is gone after a year. employers (as can be seen by all the miles of lines in contract
leave open all avenues for their escape) which you sign and accept.
if there is a dispute on work hours or pay etc. the employer will state and WIN you accepted the old rules and "unspoken" new rules
in new position. for example employer demands 6 extra hours a week with no pay or basic "no overtime rate" and will claim you accepted the position.
3 years employment tribunal and employer claims bankrupt etc. it is out there and is used.
