If you are in an at-will employment state, than probably yes, depending on state statutes. However, if you happened to sign the contract, the contract would probably be held unenforceable because it was signed under duress. To form a contract there must be mutual assent, which essentially means that the parties to the contract must actually agree to the terms and must actually want to enter into a contract. No one can ever force you to enter into a contract.

∙ 11y agoUnderstand that I am not a lawyer. However, just today, I watched an episode of "Judge Joe". During this show, there was a case addressing this same question. The case was a man who received a loan from another man, and a year later signed the contract.
The upshot of the decision was 1) The defendant had no obligation to sign the contract, 2) The defendant signed the contract of his own free will, and 3) Because of the agreement/contract, the plaintiff was entitled to satisfaction with or without the defendant having signed the contract.
I don't remember the term the judge used, but the signing of the contract after the fact is legal, but not required.
