I got a job offer after a successful interview - I then got an email stating that the pay will start at £30k for one month, due to the company wanting to avoid higher recruiter fees. After 5 months it will increase to £33k and finally after this period, provided I'm doing a good job, it will raise to 35k at some point.
35K for this position is about average however, 30K is well below especially for the city. I'm hoping this appears in my contract however I'm worried if it does not, that I could be kept at ~30k for longer than the agreed plus 6 months salary.
If this stipulation is not written in my contract, how can I ensure the company advances my salary as was outlined in an email without rescinding the contract

If this stipulation is not written in my contract, how can I ensure the company advances my salary as was outlined in an email?
You can't. The company is only bound by what is written in the contract so if this stepped salary is a deal-breaker for you then you need to have it included in the contract.
If you receive the contract without the stipulation written, the most graceful way to ask for it to be included is forwarding the original email where they outlined your stepped salary and simply asking them to please add it to the contract. If the company was sincere about their reasons for proposing this stepped salary then they should have no issue adding it to the contract.

Thanks, you reaffirm what I thought. Though the issue remains that if the contract does not stipulate the stepped salary, how can I ensure the company adheres to it? It might be a change of question - but where I can work there are not many job offerings so this one would be great IF I end up on the 35K before 12 months. If I see the contract in the next day and it is not specified, how can I ensure it gets added to the contract without losing faith with the company.

@AKennedy unfortunately you cannot ensure anything if it is not in the contract. Yes they can send you emails of assurances but those are usually not legally binding and they can always come up with excuses to delay or ignore the steps of the salary increases.

Yeah I get that, I guess I'm asking how not to get taken advantage of, the contract might appear without the stipulantions but if this is a job where I can't just push aside, how would I gracefully ask to have the stimulation put into the contract?
