    I have signed a contract but, probably like most people's, it's a little vague.

    I like it that way.

    I always make sure there's a line that basically reads "and anything other job as necessary" in my contracts. It gives me a lot of scope for doing other things when I have the time.

    I think contracts are a good idea for working hours, working conditions and things like that, but specifying actual duties may be a step too far.

    I am in a similar position, but the contract references the job title, when I joined I was SQL Server Specialist.

    This then gives a few more specifics but nothing concrete just gives systems supported and the like.

    Recently all the jobs were renamed and regraded I am now Application DBA specialist (what ever that is) and the job description is so vague as to be useless.
