I am a contractor and I was told my contract has been extended, but haven't signed anything yet. There are 10 days remaining until 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 a 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 wait a bit longer?

    If having no contract puts you in panic mode, I would suggest to take the point and build some kind of reserve so that your business can be more resilient to that kind of event, which is hard to avoid anyway...

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.

    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).

Confectionery

Prepared foods made with a lot of sugar or other cabohydrates "Sweetmeat" redirects here. For the racehorse, see Sweetmeat (horse). Not to be confused with Sweetbread. This Kransekake is a traditional Scandinavian baker's confection. Confectionery is the art of making confections , which are food items that are rich in sugar and carbohydrates. Exact definitions are difficult. [1] In general, though, confectionery is divided into two broad and somewhat overlapping categories, bakers' confections and sugar confections. [2] Bakers' confectionery, also called flour confections , includes principally sweet pastries, cakes, and similar baked goods. Sugar confectionery includes candies ( sweets in British English), candied nuts, chocolates, chewing gum, bubble gum, pastillage, and other confections that are made primarily of sugar. In some cases, chocolate confections (confections made of chocolate) are treated as a separate category, as are sugar-free versions of ...
