After an employer has communicated that you have been accepted to a role, you should expect an employment contract within days. However, this will vary from employer to employer.
Every state and country has different laws when it comes to employment. Some states require a written statement issued within two months of accepting a role, while it’s not necessary for others.
It’s best practice to hold off on commencing a role until you’ve read and signed your employment agreement. This ensures you have some protection if any issues arise.
