Legal Question in Business Law in Utah

Impleid employment contracts.

I had an employment contract with a company, and they direct deposited my check to my bank account. Then they revoked a deposit and ended the contract. They claim that the only employemant contract they have is unsigned by an officer of the company, which makes it an invalid contract. My question is ..... They sent me the contract, I signed it and returned it, in turn the authorized payment to my account, do we then not have a valid, yet implied contract?

I need some help... Thank you

Re: Impleid employment contracts.

The facts you present raise various issues of law that need to be addressed with a face to face consultation or, at a minimum, a lengthy telephone conference. Seek the advice of counsel and good luck.

Re: Implied employment contracts.

Even though the employer did not sign the contract, they accepted the contract as evidenced by their commencing payment to you. They are bound to the terms of the contract. If they did not agree to the terms, they had a duty to notify you or to not make the deposit. At a minimum you have an oral contract - at least in the State of Utah. Most courts would enforce the terms of the agreement.
