What is an employment contract?

1. An employment contract is a verbal or a written agreement that covers the working relationship of a company and an employee. 
2. It allows both parties to clearly understand their obligations and the terms of employment such as the rights of the employee, the responsibilities, conditions and duties. 
3. In case of breach of contract, it’s allowed to demand a refund to the company.

Types of work contracts – full, part-time and temporary

1. Temporary contracts: Similar to fixed-term, temporary contracts are offered when a contract is not expected to become permanent.
2. Full-time contract: Is the most common type of employment contract. These contracts are generally offered for permanent positions, and usually set out the employee’s salary or hourly wage. Most employers recognise full-time work as 40 hours per week.
3. Part-time contract: A part-time worker works fewer contracted hours than a full-time employee. The number of hours they’re scheduled to work per week should be clearly visible within the contract, but they may have the option to work overtime, if and when desired.
