Can an employer require an employee to sign a new contract?

In Illinois, an employer can require an employee to sign a new contract. Depending on the situation, the employee may be required to sign the new contract in order to continue in their employment. Employers often use contracts to set out the terms of an employee’s role, wages, benefits, and other related matters, and these new contracts may include changes from the original contract. In many cases, employees are given the choice to accept or reject the new contract. If they choose to reject the new contract, they may have to leave their position. However, in some cases, the employer may require that the employee sign the new contract in order to continue their employment. In this situation, the employee may be asked to sign a document indicating that they agree to the new terms or they may be required to sign a new contract. When an employer requires an employee to sign a new contract, they should ensure that the employee is aware of the contents of the contract and any changes that have been made. The employee should also be given the opportunity to ask questions and understand the implications of signing the new contract. Finally, it is important that the employee has the opportunity to have the contract reviewed and consider their options before signing.
