[QUOTE="trainee4u, post: 242946, member: 30779"] hmm, it's not necessarily a good thing. the point is that an a training contract was always formally an apprenticeship at common law, an agreement to be trained over 2 years. (this is not the same as a statutory apprenticeship.) That meant you couldn't be fired unless there was a repudiatory breach., and could sue for compensation if cancelled. OTOH there's no protection till 2 years for normal employees. (note that ERA 2025 reduces unfair dismissal qualification from 1/1/2027 to six months.) Now that there is no longer a formal requirement to do a training contract, but instead you can stitch together 4 items of QWE I'm not sure if the common law provisions still apply. [/QUOTE]
