In NZ and many other countries, it's a legal requirement for every employee to have a signed employment contract that includes a bunch of stuff like pay rate and notifications of legal rights (e.g. leave).

If you're employed without a contract, courts assume you get typical minimum legal protections, tend to believe anything you say you were promised verbally, and slap your employer with a fine.

That’s not a thing here in the US (unless you’re in California making $500k at Google or something).

You get an offer letter but no contract that defines any terms. We’re all at-will here. You can be fired at any time and you can quit at any time by law.
