A:
If you have never signed an employment contract with your employer, it may be more difficult for your employer to enforce certain policies and procedures or to take certain disciplinary actions against you. However, the absence of a signed contract does not necessarily prevent your employer from taking disciplinary action against you.
In many cases, employment contracts may be implied by law or may be established through the employer's actions or the employee's conduct. This means that even if you have not signed a formal contract, you may still have certain obligations and responsibilities as an employee, and your employer may still have certain rights and expectations regarding your behavior and performance.
If your employer has called you in for a disciplinary hearing, it may be because they believe that you have violated company policies or have not met certain performance expectations. Even without a signed contract, your employer may have the right to take disciplinary action if they can demonstrate that you have breached certain employment obligations or responsibilities.
It may be helpful for you to seek legal advice to understand your rights and responsibilities in this situation, and to determine whether your employer has acted appropriately in calling you in for a disciplinary hearing.
