It is mandatory for companies and employers to have a written employment contract with all employees whose employment relationship has a duration of more than one month and an average weekly working time that exceeds 8 hours.

Hourly:

An employment contract for an hourly employee is a contract that contains all the most important terms for the employee’s employment.

White-collar:

An employment contract for a white-collar employee is a written contract that describes the terms and conditions that must apply to the employment relationship. It therefore provides clear guidelines for both employer and employee.

Why is it important?

It is important for you as an employer, as it can result in a fine if you have not provided an employment contract, or provided an employment contract that does not contain the correct information to an employee who is entitled to it.

In addition, such a contract provides clarity for both parties of what is expected of each other. In this way, any misunderstandings and conflicts can be avoided. These frameworks, which are set in the contract, can help build a better working environment.

Examples of what such a contract may contain:
