Add Comment Question: I signed a employment contract with a new employer with very favourable terms and resigned my current position. One week before starting the new role they requested I could not onboard without signing a new employment contract that has substantial changes to work location, hours, severance/termination pay, temporary layoffs, and broad language allowing changes to employment terms. I do not want to accept the modifications and the employer is stating I can start unless I do. What should I do? Answer: We would have to review the details of the original offer of employment along with the new offer they are requesting you execute, before we are able to provide advice with respect to your specific circumstances.
