I am a contractor and I was told my contract has been extended, but haven't signed anything yet. 10 days remains while my current contract ends. I asked the boss for the new contract 4 days ago and he mentioned that HR was being slow, but I am in panic because there are only 10 days remaining and I haven't had any new contract to sign.



Do I push for a new contract or what a bit longer?

          You should probably give it a few days. If the company has already confirmed that your contract has been extended that means that they're going to get it to you (assuming you have this in writing, if not then follow it up ASAP).



          I'd say give it at least another 3 days and if you have no reply follow it up and just nudge them to see what's happening and whether or not it is being processed. If your boss says HR is slow that means he's already notified HR and it is likely being sorted so hopefully you have nothing to worry about.

            @cookieMonster It will do for now, follow the advice in the second paragraph and you should be good. A lot of HR departments can be known for last minute work

            Just to add to this, it's not unusual for contract extensions to come through at the very last second and probably nothing to worry about (I've even known them to come through after the expiry of the initial contract). Unless you have had a prior extension from them which was handled differently, this is probably just how they work (and even then it can change between one extension and the next for a variety of normal reasons).
