It's a tricky one.
If he doesn't sign it they can sack him *because* he won't sign it...........and because he doesn't have one to fall back on, he would have problems fighting against the sacking by proving that they were acting beyond the scope of any contract he did have with them.
Is everything exactly the same as it always has been in terms of management/ownership, etc ?
same name but with LTD or limited on the end, nothing wrong with that. And the paperwork will only say when the company was formed. His emplyment would just have been transfered over from old company though so its a continuation of emplyment
Well I'd be having the start date amended because it's important that's correct in the event of subsequent redundancy and possibly for pension rights if there is one.
The name thing on incorporation is entirely irrelevant though. Forget about it.
