Another job Q (for me this time)

I have accepted that job, set the pay and the start date, but I still need to get fingerprints back.  Also, I don't recall signing a formal contract.  I tentatively start in 2 weeks from today (so I can give notice today) but now I'm thinking I have not signed a contract.  Should I be giving noticeyet ??? 
And so I say to you, you are Peter, and upon this Rock I will build my Church, and the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it.

Re: Another job Q (for me this time)

  • Are they going to send a formal letter of employment?  If so, I'd wait for that.
  • I'd call the hiring manager or the HR person you're working through and ask them.  Let them know you need to give notice to your current job and they should be able to let you know where things stand. 
  • I agree to call HR. I dunno what line of work you are in but I've never signed a contract before the 1st day of work IIRC.

    They didn't say.  I do know that they won't let me start until the fingerprint results come back.  I have signed a paper with the pay rate and I started filling out other paperwork, but not a contract.

    I just had this last minute...wait a minute, what if this doesn't actually happen?  Not because of fingerprints (I know I"m good there) ...just a last minute worry that I'll get screwed for some reason.

  •  I haven't signed an actual contract in years.  They send me a letter of agreement through email, but never a contract.  Maybe the district is like mine?

  • Just left her a message. I'm not comfortable telling my supervisor yet (even though I think the district intends on making this happen).
    And so I say to you, you are Peter, and upon this Rock I will build my Church, and the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it.
  • I've never had a contract, but I've never quit a current job without at least an offer letter in hand.

  • She said they are mailing me an employment agreement.  Also, I guess it's a good thing that I still have the email where she offered me my payrate and my subsequent acceptance of it.  I feel better about this....I will give notice tomorrow.

    Thanks everyone.

    The worst part abut all of this is that I had to spend my lunch dealing with this and not reading and posting to what looks like an interesting day on the board.  I need to get busy!

    I've never signed a contract, and I've never received an offer letter.

    Wait, I once received an offer letter.  3 weeks after I was told it would be coming and with information missing.  That was one of only 2 jobs I've ever turned down.
