Shortly after starting employment as a fixed-term employee, she was presented with a contract stating that her employment would terminate after one year. However, Ms Tracey’s employment continued after the expiry of the term stated, having agreed with management that she would continue. An email was sent including a new contract which asked for the document to be signed and returned, which never took place due to a few queries raised which included the number of hours of work and holiday pay. Another contract was sent out after that which reduced the number of days of annual leave Ms Tracey was entitled to, which again was rejected and not signed. Not wanting to press the point too heavily and risk her employment she worked without a new contract for around 3 years.
