What's the contract ruling on calling a player up from Triple A during the regular season?

I've called several guys up from Triple A during the regular season, thereby giving them a major league contract. Then I've sent them back down to the minors sometime later in the season. I checked that offseason, and for some reason these players still have "minor league contracts". Isn't the rule, once you get called up, you sign a major league contract, and even if you get called back down, you still make that major league contract?

I don't know if this is a bug or I'm just unclear about the rules.

Could somebody clarify?
