"It asks people to sign and then says they can change the scheme from time to time. What kind of contract is that? It is like an open cheque."
Quite an interesting point indeed, and one that seems to have been forgotten by many. At the very end of the SLS "contract", it clearly says that the company is reserving the right to "change the scheme from time to time".
So basically, if by the beginning of 2010 things aren't looking brighter, they can legally extend the scheme and increase the amount of money you will give without having to ask you, as you would have already agreed to it! You may give one week now, but the company has the right to take more later!
Read the fine prints. It's a very scary contract to sign. Still don't understand why so many have sign it so fast
