An employment contract is a legally binding agreement between an employer and an employee. This type of contract outlines the obligations and rights of both parties while employed, including salary information, job title and duties, scope of work, and other relevant details. Such contracts also provide important information, such as vacation pay and working hours. In addition, these documents outline an employee’s rights to benefits or protection from termination or discrimination. With a formal agreement in place, both parties can be confident that their expectations are clearly documented, making it easier to resolve workplace disputes.
