Change of Employment Contract Law
Discussion
There is no defined period for changing a contract.
To action the change the mutual agreement is required - i.e you need to sign. They can specify when you need to respond by.
They can't force changes upon you as that is breach of your current contract and a breach of mutual trust and confidence.
What they could do (if they can clearly show the change is for a justifiable business need) is terminate your current contract (give you the boot) - or make you redundant on those terms - kind of depends on what and why they are changing and if they put a 'subject to change' clause in your original contract.
If still in doubt contact ACAS who give free employment law advice to employers and employees.
