Add Comment Question: Can an employee of 14.5 years be forced to sign an employment contract now? Answer: My name is David Vaughan and I am an employment lawyer with Samfiru Tumarkin. No, you cannot be forced to sign an employment contract once you are employed. However, the employer could terminate your employment without cause in its discretion, in which case it would owe you severance pay. Please visit the Severance Calculator (http://www.severancepaycalculator.com/) for an estimate of your severance entitlements.
