they sent an email, desribing the terms but no one signed it.
In the event they did not come through with there promises, would this be valid?
thanks

I don't think so. He needs the offer in writing before commiting.

I just got a job offer via e-mail and I replied - accepting the terms. There is not a lot at stake for me. I don't have to move, if it doesn't work out, I will move onto something else. A few years ago, we moved across the country for a job that my husband took. You can be sure that he had an employment contract in place before we even wrapped one plate. They paid all our moving expenses, provided a lease car, flights out to look for housing, temporary accomodation, it even had a termination clause, that if it didn't work out and he left within the year, they would pay him 6 months salary and all his moving expenses. Well guess what, 5 months after we moved across the country, they re-organized the company and let him go. We had a 6 month cushion to find something else and no bill left from the move.So employment contract is the way to go if moving and big bucks are involved. Otherwise, a hand shake and a start time and date are good.

No, and an offer isn't necessarily binding even if it is signed. If you're looking for a contract of employment, talk to an attorney.

no as job descriptions can and do change.
