The nurse takes a position working in a clinic and receives a sign-on bonus
After having worked for one month the nurse charges that she never signed a contract with the clinic and therefore can leave for a different, higher-paying job without returning the bonus. What is true about this situation? 1. The contract was accepted when the nurse showed up for work.
2. Since there was no signed paper, the contract does not exist.
3. Acceptance of the terms of a contract must be in writing.
4. Cashing the bonus check indicates acceptance of the contract.
1
Rationale: Contracts may be accepted by the beginning performance of the offeree (by showing up for work). There is no requirement that the contract be in writing. While cashing the bonus check certainly indicates acceptance, the contract already existed prior to this occurrence.
