No, a contract is not void or otherwise unenforceable because one of the parties to it did not receive a copy; the law does not require that each party have a copy of the contract to make it enforceable. If your former employer sues you to try to enforce the contract against you, however, they will have to produce it during the course of litigation, to prove its existence and terms (i.e. there is no way they can enforce it against you unless they prove its existence and terms).
