A small business (currently just 2 people) who have previously done work for me in my capacity as a middle manager in a large organisation, wish to employ me. Together we have worked on and agreed a job description and pay package, which I've asked them to give me formally in writing.
Does a signed job offer on company letterhead which I countersign to accept constitute a contract? Or should I ask for a "proper" contract laying out all the terms and conditions? I've only ever worked for large organisations before and have typically just had an offer letter - but they have always been places which had standard terms and conditions available which apply to all staff. I don't think this organisation has had an employee before and I'm going to have no idea where I stand with things like notice periods, sick leave etc - but I feel if I bring stuff like that up it will be seen as trying to be unnecessarily difficult.
