employment contract
An employment contract is a mutual agreement between an employer and an employee that outlines the terms and conditions of employment. This contract can be formalised in writing or verbally established and is also referred to as a contract of employment.
An employment contract is like a rulebook for the job, detailing what the employer expects from the employee and what the employee can expect in return, including salary, work hours, and job responsibilities. It might also include policies on vacation time, sick leave, and workplace conduct. Whether it's a piece of paper or a verbal agreement, this contract is key in defining the working relationship. Different types of employment (like full-time, part-time, or casual) have different contracts with specific terms tailored to each employment type.
